Re: MCE not fnding all channels that ComproDTV does

vbap thanks for your other thread. Yep, I tried an amp/splitter and feeding one tuner from one output, and the other two from the other output. Didn't help much. So I thought that I had to boost the signal up in the roof at the other end of the antenna cable.

When I was up in the roof I found that very nasty cheap coax - single screen, braid only! - is used for the wall runs. To make it even worse, the installer bundled the coax with the power cables so the coax picks up all the interference running over the AC wiring. So installing the amp/splitter up there didn't help reception down below, presumably because the coax is so bad. I fear that I may need to replace it to get reception up to scratch.

So scottb721 I hope you won't have to make any wiring alterations to fix your tuning problem. Don't get frustrated!
