premium RG-6 quad shield coax and one (and only one) high quality splitter that
passes DC on one side only (to power the amplifier in the antenna). ?It works
pretty well and there's no rotor involved. ?We even achieve a solid HD signal

often than not. ?Thinking about using the one of those or perhaps a Winegard

remote is now wireless and I was able to use the existing cables.
