Multiple TV's off one aerial

Declan Carey · 2010-10-09 23:29:14

I have an aerial on my roof but it only has one connection on it. I want to run cables for TVs into two other bedrooms, what's the best way to do this without losing signal? Is there some kind of adapter I can stick onto the connection on the aerial to allow more cables off it, sorta like a quad LBN, but different…

Is there some kind of adapter I can stick onto the connection on the aerial to allow more cables off it, sorta like a quad LBN, but different obviously as it's an aerial.

You need to split the signal using either a passive splitter or a powered distribution amp.

e.g:

If the aerial is picking up a strong signal and the cable runs are not too long, then the passive should do OK, otherwise use the powered one.
