<p>[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. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" /> 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%.</p><p></p><p>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.
