Good points about conditions in my attic. My house was built about 5 years ago, and the attic doesn't get too hot. I think the conditions up there would be within the HDHR's published operating temperature of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 105°F). Humidity could be a problem.. but I've come to the personal conclusion that solid state electronics hold up well in outdoor conditions. Noticing that every sports bar now has standard, off the shelf HDTVs mounted outdoors gave me the confidence to deploy a FE to my screened in porch about a year ago. No issues so far, other than a MCEUSB ir receiver biting the dust a few weeks back.<br>
<br>Anyway, I was completely unaware of the reverse splitter approach. This seemed like the simplest solution (which IMHO is always the best), so I tried it out by adding my old attic antenna with the new. Viola, it works great! I have minimal signal drop on my original strong signals and the weaker ones have been brought up enough to give me solid reception.<br>
<br>Hope this helps others<br>Dave<br><br>
