View Full Version : How to connect HDB8X to 2 maybe 3 TV's

The two cables from the HDB8X antenna goes into a combiner with one output. From there I need to feed one tv in one side of the house and 1 (maybe more later) in the other side of the house.

How is it best to do that?
I was thinking about adding a splitter after the antennas combiner, but that sounds kind of weird. First combining 2 and then splitting in 2. Is that the way to go?

Yes, that is the correct generally procedure.

One more question then..

What is the difference between these type of splitters:

The first is a simple tee- it's just plain, straight wire between the three ports.

The second is a proper transformer-type splitter that keeps the impedance of all three ports matched. The tee does not.
