No Signal on OTA tuners

I have been having trouble with my Sage install viewing OTA broadcasts. The system was working fine until I added a new dual tuner card. Now I have three tuners between two cards on a single WHS pc. Ever since then my tv reception has been spotty and digitized. I can rarely do a channel scan and find all networks. The strange thing is my tv has a built in tuner, and it can tune all the channels with no digitization and sound stuttering. I tried disabling the new card but that hasn't helped. Getting a lot of BSOD too. I am thinking a hardware conflict, but don't understand how that would effect tv tuning and reception. Thanks!

It sounds like you've split the antenna cable another couple times for the additional tuners & now the signal is too weak. You may need an amplifier before the splits.

Thanks I didn't think of that. I'll try to add an amplifier and report back!

Did this do the trick? I live in Lincoln as well and have never gotten channel 6 and have trouble with channel 10.
