Do I need an antenna splitter?

When using one antenna for multiple TVs you need to use an aerial splitter to split the TV signal. In the United States we typically use coaxial cable to install TV antennas.

How does a TV signal splitter work?

As the name implies, a coax signal splitter takes the power on the input port and splits it equally among the output ports. For example, a 2-way splitter has one input port and two output ports. It sends half the power of the input signal to one of the output ports. The other half is sent to the other output port.

Can you put a splitter on a TV antenna?

Once you have your antenna all hooked up, the next thing you need to do is connect a splitter. This is an inexpensive device designed for splitting an antenna cable into multiple cables. This lets you use one antenna for multiple TVs, so you can watch your local channels on every television in your house.

How many splitters can you use?

Use a splitter with as few connections as possible (two way splitters will typically have the least signal loss). Try not to daisy chain splitters (splitter attached to a splitter). If you need more ports, a four-way splitter is better than 3 two-way splitters. I’ve seen splitters with as many as 16 ports.

Can you hook up more than one antenna to a TV?

Adding a second antenna can increase the signal path coverage and give you a more consistent signal. To accomplish this you will need a combiner or coupler that can combine the two antennas together. I would recommend that you use two identical antennas. This will ensure a balanced signal path and coverage.

Do coaxial splitters work both ways?

Once two signals are combined by a splitter hooked up in reverse, the signals cannot be separated by putting them back into another splitter. This will only split the two combined signals in two directions.
