    Hi Lads

    I am pointing to Maghera in Co. Clare for my terrestrial reception.

    At the moment I have an Aerial which loooks like this one below.

    I have great reception of RTÉ 1 and 2 TV3 is OK and TG4 is a bit flakey.
    Maghera is both a VHF and UHF transmitter so it might be a good Idea to stick up a UHF aerial to improve my TG4 and TV3 reception.

    So now how do I distribute the signal to my 4 TV sets.

    I have a signal booster from OneForAll the remote control people.
    See picture:

    I have the 4 output one with uses the incoming feed from my VHF aerial as the source.

    It only alows 1 input can I just stick a Y splitter on it and then stick in the two aerial inputs that way?

    Any suggestions welcome.
    Thank you,
    Eóin

    No. Get a UHF/VHF Diplexer, theyre only about a tenner. They combine both aerials to the one downlead. Y Splitter is not a great idea.

    Any decent electrical retailer or aerial installer should have them. They're quite common in the trade :)
