Code:
                                  tuner #1
                                 /
antenna > attenuator > splitter >
                                 \
                                  tuner #2
With my equipment, my SONY KDL22L5000 has about the same sensitivity as my Apex DT502 and Centronics ZAT502HD boxes. My later SONY KDL22BX320 is about 2 dB more sensitive.

My point, exactly!

Why should I shell out dough, to compare a TV's performance?
