I don't want to hijack the OPs thread so I'll be glad to start a new thread.


Although my cable company is currently broadcasting the locals I'm having a
problem picking them up, weak signal, etc.? I do have an external antenna in
my attic as was suggested earlier  but its getting no use since I only have
a single input on my TV...

What is that kind of combiner called? is there some kind of problem with
multiple local frequencies on the same cable, etc?

Thanks,
