It has been awhile but have a question. Can I splice my OTA antenna and run it into my bedroom with another receiver? Don't want to lose any signal strength if you all don't think it is wise. Read another post but was not sure if that was exactly what I wanted to know.


Thanks in advance,
Jay I

Yes... you can use a splitter. A 2-way splitter will intoduce a -3.5dB of signal loss. Try it and see what happens.

If there's a problem, you may need to add a distribution or pre-amp.

Wherever is convenient.
