    Hey guys, quick question, folks recently got a digital TV, tuned, and 80 odd channels on freeview, am guessing the signal comes from northern ireland. is it possible to run more than one digital tv or set top box from the same arial, ie one digital tv on in one room, and another digital tv or set top box in another room watching a different digital or analoge station

    Thanks in advance

    :confused:

    Quick answer - yes. You'll have to split the signal though. So as to avoid major signal loss when splitting, best way to do this is through a distribution amplifier (probably placed in loft if you have one) and distribute signals to different idtvs/stb's. This shouldn't be a major operation and with a bit of time and patience you should be able to get what you're looking for.
