Hi everyone,
I just recently canceled cable and installed a TV antenna and would now like to add an HTPC.
First off my antenna problems. I first received the antenna (RCA ANT751) and just tested it out by hooking it up to one TV and setting the antenna on a chair. It picked up 26 frequencies flawlessly. I installed it permanently in my attic space with a 25' drop of RG6 quad shield to my coax junction in my home. It then connects to a splitter that I am using backwards to combine my cable internet and antenna signals. From there it ties into an amplifier and then from the amp to the TV's. The problem is now I have lost some channels and one channel has intermittent problems and sometimes completely goes out. Anyone have some ideas there?
My second problem is choosing a TV tuner card. I would like one that has a RF remote because I need the range capability over an IR.
Thanks!
