[QUOTE="MickeyRat, post: 181134, member: 93262"]Thanks for the reply. I was afraid you'd say something like that. I really don't have a reasonable way to switch tuners. The coax doesn't end near a TV. I'm using an HDHomerun network tuner and I have small computers at the TVs. If you read my first post you know I'm a computer geek. :) The tuner software does have a signal strength meter and a couple channels are getting signals in the high 80s to low 90s. The others are at 100%. The coax is 100 feet long and it runs through the attic to the antenna on the roof. I'm not real keen on replacing the whole length. I did go up there and to check it before I posted here. I didn't detect any water in the end and it is in a fairly sheltered spot. I also packed it with dielectric grease when I installed it and I repacked it while I was up there. I don't suppose there's a good way to check the coax. I didn't mention it but, I did see one video from a guy that claimed to have had a Clearstream and he said it was great but, after about 2 years, water got to it. The thing is he was replacing it with a muhu that he said was wonderful. That set off my BS-ometer and I didn't give it much credence. Now I have to ask do you guys know about any issues over time with the Clearstream?[/QUOTE]
