Didn't know wether or not to put this in homes and DIY or here?.......Anyway.


My question is.......

We currently have a tv signal booster(mains powered) installed in our roof space, it has three connections one being the aerial input, and two outputs to two televisions in the house.
My wife now wants a tv in the kitchen, does this mean I have to buy another signal booster with 3 outputs or can i split one of the outputs to allow two televisions to be supplied from one outlet.?(ie two aerial cables into one output via a splitter)

Any input and recommendations would be a help.......Thanks.

It all depends on the signal level/quality. Without having access to a signal meter try the cheapest rout first, buy a splitter and plug it in, if it works your on a winner, if one or both tv's start to break up on certain channels they you will have to buy a 3 way amp.
