Re: OT: What's the best HDTV antenna setup?

In principle, yes.

Put the antenna where it will get the best reception.
Play with it to determine where that is.

Perhaps what you may need is a 'T' connector, depending on your setup.
Radio Shack and Fry's have lots of options.

Try to use as few connectors as possible.
Each one saps signal strength.

At one time having a UHF antenna on the TV was considered the epitome of
in.
The more knobs and gadgets on it the better.

Thanks, plugger friends, for your responses.

So, may I ask one more related question:

Since there are cable jacks in three rooms in our house,
could I just relocate in the unsightly "set-top" UHF antenna
that I now have sitting on top of the TV in the living room and
perhaps use a double-male coupler (is there such a thing)
to plug that simple antenna into the cabling that runs through
the house and thereby obtain a signal for the other two rooms?
