[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1310693, member: 9198"] I forgot one thing, HD. Make sure your TV is the type set up for receiving digital signals. If your set is more than 5 or 6 YO and you've been on cable all this time your set may be too old to receive digital. Mr. Trent is correct about using quality cable however it is not RG8. RG8 is 52 ohm cable and almost all TV paraphernalia is set up for 75 ohm impedance. I would use a good quality RG6 cable and minimize the use of connectors where ever possible. Every connector will give you a 6db loss (2:1) so it won't take many of them to negate the gain you have in the antenna or booster. [/QUOTE]
