Hi, i've put an old 1foot by one foot uhf antenna on the side of my chimmney facing the most signal direction and it seems to get most things well but not as strong as i'd hoped...i've got a white cable going two stories down to the basement to a eight way splitter with four cables going to various t.v.s...some work well others not so well...one t.v. has the built in tuner{sony wega 34 wide screen } others are old analogs with cheaper converters...I have the cables as short as possible...do signal boosters really do anything? Seems i've tried them and never had any real difference...do I get a new antenna(as small as possible please) or something else??? I'm at zip 53225 thanks for listening to my babble ...wade
