[mythtv-users] Hello after long absence - looking to build very small Myth setup.

[Daryl McDonald]

I wouldn't rush right out and get a second antenna, I use an antenna
amplifier/splitter. I get a stronger signal and a second output from one
antenna, in my case one for the TV and one for Mythtv. Got mine for about
$8 from Princess Auto, an off shore retailer (Canadian) you might try
someone like Harbor Freight. I know their in Michigan, not sure about
California.
