Wow. I used to love those when I was a kid. Always hated the real things, but those were awesome.

Yup, I've actually never smoked, or tried to smoke cigarettes.

But I had candy cigarette addiction when I was a kid!

I know of motor home rentals, but I didn't want to go that route for one or three people. Dont want to buy one either.

The only place that I know for sure rents trailers is Krenek rv in Coloma Michigan, roughly 85 miles from Hammond.

Uh huh!

Setup is as follows: Antenna mounted on roof... coaxed to antenna amp..... into 1->2 splitter.... split going into a 1->3 and 1-> 4 splitters...... going to the lines throughout the house. Bedroom tv gets nothing. Family room gets channel 56 only and basement TV gets only channel 56...... WTF?

Nick, you should have the lines go directly from the amp to each TV directly, not split them throughout the house. Don't ask me how I know. But splitting the lines are like cancer to the signal. Run straight lines down to each TV. Don't connect up any lines to your amp that are not actually connected to a TV set on the other end.

If you have 4 TV sets hooked up then you should have 4 lines coming from the amp and running directly to each TV set without any splits.

The closer you are to a transmission source the more splits you can have, but Crown Point is actually pretty far from the signal sources!

What is total number of tv? 7?
Try removing the 1 to 4 split and see what you get.

Is that a hi-point and do the sights line up?




Just get 1 tv working, and go from there.

They had $3 Leinenkugel (sp?) but I didn't notice until after I ordered a Blue Moon.

TRIAL AND ERROR.

If you have 3 sets then you need 1 3-way splitter from your antenna's amp. Connect 1 direct line from that splitter directly to the TV set's wall outlet.

Easiest way to do it is to have someone watching the TV set while you are up in the attic connecting/disconnecting the coax lines. But make sure you run them direct from that 3 way splitter.

In the future if you add a 4th TV set then put in a 4 way splitter and run 4 direct runs.

Thank you a 6 year old actually did it.

Yes thug eric it is a high point.
The front sight looks to be canted to the left a bit but not sure have not yet fired it.
The front sights can be re adjusted and depending how it shoots i might adjust them but it's not really and issue for me for this carbine.

Oh ok.

This will make my wife happy as ive been f-in with it all day....

Screw this, im going to SCG tomorrow to get my mind off of it.

 

[jedi]

You just need another pair of hands that is all.

 

[xfrostybeersx]

What I dont get is one line from each of the 2 main splitters are working, and when I had it hooked directly to a tv to test it, it worked fine( more than one channel and that was indoors)

 

[jedi]

Your amp may not be strong enough to have that many splits.
It is an amp that you connect to a wall outlet right.
