I am having trouble receiving channels that are on the same heading & distance as ones where I get a strong signal strength.
I am using a TivoHD and Tivo series 3 HD unit to receive my local channels. The previous owner of my house installed a physically large directional antenna in the attic (brand or type is unknown) and it is pointed in the correct direction. There is about a 30' run to a PDI-brand 2:1 splitter and then 30'+ of additional coax to the nearest Tivo (other leg of the splitter is probably 50-60'. Below is a cut-and-paste from antennaweb. Channel 8.1 comes in @ a strength of 99, channel 42 @ ~50 and channel 2.1 comes in @ 0. Will an amp like a Channelmaster 7778 allow me to pull in the weaker channels (without breaking channel 8.1) or is it more likely that I'm having multi-path problems (since the towers are all in ~ the same place)? In general, VHF is doing much better than UHF channels.
