OK... CA, I will try the test. I assume the barrel connector is just a standard connector I used to add length to go from the park pedestal thru the front door to the BR TV. I assume this will work, and will re scan, but the TV will probably not keep the scan and keep the channels.
If the OTA splitter is not compatible, if I can dig thru the massive spider web of wire & cable and hydraulic lines & piping behind the wall behind where all this comes in and can find the OTA splitter do you know what kind of splitter I need to get to replace the OTA???
Thanks for your help....
