I've got weak antenna strength, I've tried working out my antenna and nothing. Just kidding.
I've purchased a Channel Master Titan 7777 and was hoping to use that in my current setup to boost the UHF signal. The other equipment in the chain includes an antenna, and a 5x4 multiswitch. The Multiswitch is by Aspen Eagel and it's got 5 inputs, one being a UHF line in. This Multiswitch is powered and serves the function of a diplexer.
Here's the problem, the Titan has two parts, one that goes near the antenna, and the other safe inside away from the extreem california weather. The setup for the titan looks like this antenna->outside amp->cable inside-> power supply-> tv. It seems to me that the titan is trying to send power to the outdoor amp, and the multiswitch is trying to power the signal coming in. This would be the setup with the multiswitch...

So, how stupid is it to combine these two powered items and in this configuration? It seems there will be power coming from the receiver, Titan Power and multiswitch. I know very little about electrical properties for any of these, except that the DSS receiver does put power on the line.
Thanks for any and all help/advice.
