Dropping TV channels

Ok similar issue on a 2017, both TV's same brand different sizes, do the scan on both, one at a time, farthest gets less channels than the one at the antenna booster. I read the post on the splitter and will buy some new to replace the factory's.

Not all splitters are created equal. When we dropped DirectTV and DishTV from the house and went back to over-the-air, I installed an antenna on the roof of the house using the existing wiring and splitters that both satellite systems left in place. Neither the DirectTV splitter or the DishTV splitter worked. I have about 500 feet of coax in the house, split to 7 rooms. They all join at one splitter.

I'd get a good signal in one room, and nothing in another. Moving televisions around, the signal seemed to follow the television. I had some old splitters from old remodel projects that didn't work either. I tossed all of these away.

I finally went to Radio Shack and got a brand new one. It had like 12 splitters on it. Well, it wouldn't work on anything in the house. I had better success with some of my older ones.

I finally went to Lowes Home Improvement and out of desperation got a different (10 way) splitter. And it worked! Every room in the house had the signal.

Mind you, in the house, I have no booster, and every television gets about 60 channels ... over the air.

The trailer, with the booster on, get's one more set of channels... 30.1, 30.2, 30.3 (Decades). We don't get that in the house.

So, splitters do make a big difference. I advise, just go straight to Lowe's and get one of theirs.
