Signal splitting

Hello,

I live in Jacksonville Fl. I am using an RCA ANT 700R with a Radio shack amp, Model: 1500528 | Catalog #: 15-528 ... everything is working great; I get 30 channels. My question is how do I split this for multiple TV's? Any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated.
Thank you,
Jeff

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a , Holland Electronics , HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a , Holland Electronics , HFS-3D , 3 way splitter.

For 4 Tv's connected use a , Holland Electronics , HFS-4D , 4 way splitter.

If the Holland brand is not available, I can recommend the Ideal brand product which I find stocked at the local big box home improvement stores.

The HFS splitters are Power passing splitters and have the advantage of passing power through the splitter in one direction , using a internal diode.

Passing power in one direction prevents

DC voltage/current of a antenna system amplifier

from back feeding through coax lines to other devices connected to the antenna system.

-------------

If a splitter is used that does not pass power through the splitter

then All Parts of the amplifier must be before the input of the splitter.

It is highly unlikely that the inline amp is needed in conjunction with the ANT700R which already has an amplifier built in.


The Ideal splitters rated for 2.4GHz (instead of the 1GHz models) include the internal diodes and work fine. They have the advantage of being available in a retail store so there's no waiting for shipping nor any shipping costs.

As coincidence would have it, I've got a Holland HFS-2D and one each of the Ideal 1.0G & 2.4G splitters here to test this week.
