There are a few ways to split a signal coming from your TV Aerial. Splitting an aerial signal coming from your TV Aerial is a relatively simple task. The reasons for splitting a signal is to provide more locations in the home with a usable TV signal ready for any TV to receive Freeview, without having to install another Antenna on the property. There are 1000's of homes throughout the UK that have an aerial mast on there chimney with 2,3, 4 or even more aerial heads or antenna's on that signal mast, with each aerial providing a single feed to every room in the home.

Why there are so many aerial heads on a single mast is poor aerial installation service and advice, plus evidence of the home owner attempting to keep costs down. There are few excellent reasons to install more than one TV Aerial onto a mast. Good practice is to install a good quality TV Aerial which can draw in a good signal that can be split. The log periodic digital aerial is ideal for this purpose. If the Aerial Installation is carried out in an area with a good signal quality, then you'd expect a signal strength of anything from 58db-75db.

The signal from this aerial can be split upto 6 ways without amplification. A splitter box would usually be connected to the cable directly from the aerial head. The passive splitter box is then attached to the bas of the mast. The aerial cables going to the designated rooms in the house appear the splitter box at this point. Splitting the signal at the nearest point to the aerial head ensures the strongest signal with the best quality will reach the TV reason for each room.

When would an amplifier or TV enhancer be fitted? An amplifier or booster is fitted to a system when the signal quality is good, but the strength is not strong typically 45db-58db. Or if the signal needs to be split many times such as for a small hotel or large property. The amplifier is usually fitted in a loft space with the aerial cable coming in direct from the aerial head itself. The outgoing TV feeds appear the amplifier with the signal strength and quality being about the same because it is straight off the antenna head. This system ensures a even signal of between 45db-58db for each TV point coming off the enhancer.
