Most of the MDU OTA we do is 40-60 miles out of Chicago. Some need a pre-amp at the antenna. Most 10+ story buildings get decent signal without it. Distro amp > splitters > risers > 25db taps > 15db taps > 10 > 5 etc. Depends on the number of units, distance from the amp, etc. That's what I

It's been forever, don't remember the brands. DTV is very sensitive. Be sure to use only RG6 cable and quality Fconnectors. 44-700MHz for amps and splitters and patch panels. On Fri, Apr 13, 2018, 6:28 PM Matt Hoppes wrote: > I figured. Any recommendation oh

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to take OTA reception of TV and send it through existing coax in an MDU? Do I need some sort of amplifier, or will it work split off to say 50 units direct on the coax?
