“I have a single-story house--not sure of a clear line-of-sight to antenna--40 miles. Can I determine this myself? Also, what is needed to set up 5 TVs--or is that possible w/o losing clarity. Special splitter? Most important sharp picture on all TVs!”

LimitedKnowledge: I have the Antenna Direct-8-Output HDTV Distribution Amplifier-Copper---Model: CDAB---SKU:6334319. Supports up to 8 TVS with amplifier. I haven't installed it yet, so I don't know how well it works. Best Buy sells it online. I hope this helps you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Download app “antenna point” on smart phone. It tells you where to aim your antenna and how far away towers are. Mine is mounted 4 ft off the ground, direct wired into TV antenna port. Pictures are clear. It has roof mount hardware too, we just didn’t need to do that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We use several systems to determine line-of-sight. You can give us a call and we will advise you on obstacles between your home and the towers and where you will need to install the antenna to overcome obstacles. We are available 7 days a week 877-825-5572. Installing an antenna to 5 TVs is not complicated. If you had cable or satellite in the past, you can use the existing coaxial cable line running throughout your home. You may need to replace the splitter in the distribution box located on the outside of your house - provided by your satellite or cable provider. If your cable/satellite is set up with an HDMI cable, then the coax input (“ANT IN”) on the back of your TV is available for use to connect an antenna directly to the TV. You will need to run a channel scan on the antenna signal. Then you simply switch between inputs, antenna and cable/satellite. You will most likely need a distribution amplifier since you are splitting the signals to 5 TVs. We recommend our CDA8 8-port distribution amplifier that is sold on bestbuy.com. We are here to help if you need us!
