Our OTA reception of the digital signals is poor when using rabbit ears so I need to carry the signal the roof antenna gets for one tv to three more tvs for a total of four tvs. Here's my job plan; anything incorrect or dangerous? Note: all steps will be done without going on the roof.
1) Cut the roof antenna coax under the roof over-hang outside. Likely the coax is RG59 and not grounded as it's been unchanged since 1974.
2) Mount a four port amp/splitter under the roof over-hang.
3) Mount a four port grounding block under the roof over-hang.
4) Attach the grounding block wire to the grounding pipe mount used by the ISP broad band installer.
5) Create all necessary RG6 solid copper core cables and compress a F connector on the cut end of the roof antenna RG59 coax.
6) Connect the antenna coax to a grounding block port and run another coax from there to the amp/splitter antenna IN port.
7) Connect the coax cables from three of the TVs to the grounding block and run three coax to the amp/splitter OUT ports. All four ports on the grounding block have now been used.
8) Connect the last coax cable for the fourth TV directly to the amp/splitter and bypassing the grounding block. Connect the other end of the last coax cable to a power inserter in the fourth TV room. I'm doing this as this coax will provide power to the amp/splitter.
9) Connect the power inserter to the wall transformer and fourth television.
Thanks
