Connecting Saorview aerial to two tuners

    Hi, I have a digibox (gigablue hd quad+) with two terrestrial tuners. One is hooked up to the Saorview aerial and working fine - see attached pic.

    How would you guys connect the aerial to the second tuner? I figure I'd buy a regular coaxial cable to hop across from Ant Out from Tuner C to Ant In on Tuner D, if that makes sense. If so, where would I get a really short one of these? Can't find one online.

    Thanks

    Simply split the terrestrial signal using a 2 way fspitter before it arrives at the box and feed both outputs of the splitter to the two tuners.

    It needn't be 'really short', unless you're just trying to keep things extra tidy. The kind of flyleads available in electrical retailers would do the job, provided it's reasonable quality, preferably with a male connector on 1 end & female on the other (otherwise you'd need an adaptor).

    Or you could just make 1 up yourself.
