Tv Antennas and Reception

A rotor , one antenna and one Tv works well , the person that has the remote controls what to watch. Having one antenna and a rotor connected to more then one Tv is a source of conflict of what Tv stations to point the antenna at. The best way to do it is have two antennas , one antenna points at Chicago and the other antenna points at Milwaukee. From each antenna a coax cable goes to a location where 2 four way splitters are at , it is best to locate the 4 way splitters at a place where there is power for the preamps and it is easyer to run the coax in pairs from each splitter to the Tv locations. At each Tv location is a Remote control A/B switch so the Tv watchers can switch antennas with out moving from the chair. . Or you can put up one antenna point it at Chicago or Miwaukee and be happy with that.
