yes,you will need a splitter.there is a possability you will get a weaker signal.
if this happens you can buy a booster.
it all depends on what wire you are using,if you use the more expensive one you will get a better signal

Yes you can, try a good quality plug in splitter first, each outlet will reduce the signal strength by about 50%, so if you see a degraded picture you will have to fit an 'Active' amp/ or distribution amp. which can give any number of outlets at full strength. Eg Labgear/ Antiference/Triax

Pete's extraordinary. The sign output from the antenna has X volume of sign potential to start with (measured in dbmv), counting on the dimensions of the antenna (aerial, as you call it) and the proximity to the transmitter. each and every time you split this sign into 2, you shrink its potential in one million/2. that is in lots of situations measured in db. Splitters in lots of situations have a db output stamped on each and each outlet. A 2 way would be 3.5 db, working example. maximum antennas have passable output to run 2 or 3 TVs as defined above. additionally, the coaxial line has a undeniable volume of loss besides. the assumption is to comprehend the approximate output of the antenna and how a lot loss there'll be between it and the television. the result could be no longer under 0 dbmv of potential on the television. in case you finally end up with under that, the image ought to seem snowy. that is once you decide on a booster. those additionally are rated in db output. So, in case you're dropping, say 8 db, on your cable and splits, then that is advisable to purchase a 10 db booster. that is purely a balancing act and conserving your losses to a minimum. BTW, that is conceivable to overboost.

Buy a Y shaped or T shaped co-ax splitter and suitable lengths of good co-ax. Comet used to sell it all for a good deal less than £20.
The splitter needs to be rated at 75 ohms and you should lose about 3 decibels from it which you'll not notice.

if you have an aerial on the roof or in the loft then yes you can have more than one tv coming of it and no it does not affect the signal, i have 2 tv's coming of on aerial onthe roof and the signal is perfect on bothe sets, all you need is a y shaped aerial jack plug which you can buy from any diy or electrical store.

Yes, just get a video splitter that you can
use to connect 2 cables to the antenna.

yes you can but different channels might not get the same reception but its good to have signal booster hooked to it also

It hasn't made any difference here and we have more than our fair share of t.v.'s. Make sure you use a good quality co-ax cable.
