Small Indoor Antenna for LOS
 
Hey guys - I want to put an LCD panel (digital tuner built in) in my daughters room. She really only needs PBS - and the signal is strong (LOS):

I have a big UHF/VHF antenna w/ pre-amp on the roof wired to the living room, but I don't want to split it in fear of weakening the signal.

Could I get away with a small indoor antenna for her panel just to pick up PBS (52.1)?

Any help and antenna recommendations would be great.

If you can point out a window directly at the tower, I'd say yes.

Or, you could put a splitter right at the main TV, run cable to the other set and see if the signal degrades.
Very unlikely, w/ a preamp.
Actually, I,m surprised you're not overloading now.

If you have the right preamp at the antenna, you very likely have more than enough signal power to add a 2-way split.

What antenna (Make & Model)?
What preamp (M&M)?
What existing splitter(s) (M&M)
How many feet of coax is there between the antenna and the TV? (If there are multiple TVs, use the longest run.)
How Long would the coax run be to the new TV? (From the antenna through amp & splitter.)
