    Hi, I bought a saorview aerial but I just realised it has only 1 output. I need to feed 2 TVs. Do I need 2 aerials?

    You can just split it to feed both TVs. I have a loft one and just used a simple Y connector.

    Do not use a y splitter they are poorly made and often fail, use a metal F type splitter instead. You will need 3 f connectors to use one of these.

    I provide a link for such a splitter...

    Hi , The aerial will be on the side of the house.1 tv upstairs and 1 downstairs,So i'm looking for a splitter that fits on to the aerial output. It seems to be a threaded output port. Is there a splitter available for that?

    have you coax running to attic from both rooms? could you run cable from aerial to attic and split there?
    or you could get an outdoor splitter - --run short cable to splitter from aerial

    think you will need at least 3 aerials.
