Can this be used as a splitter from a HDTV Antenna?

There shouldn't be any reason why it wouldn't work. Its capable of passing the frequency range needed for an antenna or cable tv. The biggest difference is that the directv model splitters are made to handle the 21v power inserter's current on the lines. So they're probably better than most regular splitters and not priced much higher.

I use this splitter for my Direct TV Dish and it work fine, as the exiting cable tv splitter did not.

First let me say,The splitter is for satellite TV but I am using one for my "over the air" HDTV whole house system. Now let me qualify that. I am passing DC voltage to the RCA amplifier located at my antenna (on the DC pass through port) and running three TVs off the remaining non-DC passing ports. It is working fine for me in my application. Yours might be different. This over the air HDTV on more that one TV or even combining more than one antenna can get real frustrating! Hope this helps.

Could be used, but not an optimum choice. This is for satellite TV, not broadcast RF.

This splitter is used for splitting DirecTV signals. I cannot guarantee that it work with an HDTV antenna.In order to ensure high picture quality, I recommend using a splitter designed for HDTV antennas.

Yes, Monica. I'm playing two TV's out of my cable TV box with this splitter. Two things to note: (1) The splitter requires AC power: (2) If the AC fails, the splitter must be reset by unplugging and then plugging back in the AC power unit. I am very satisfied with this splitter's performance.

No. This device splits the output of a single device to multiple monitors. Use this device only to display a single source on multiple monitors. I used it to connect 2 TV's to my AMP. The amp has all the inputs for Dish, Rocu, cable etc.

If you have the cable cutting tool & the crimping tool, plus the cable ends. you'll be able to cut the cable a few feet below & make a joining connection, that would be my suggestion specially if you wanted to hook two or more antennas together with splitters/joiners as I am thinking of doing

Yes it can. I use it to send my PC audio to my tv and surround sound system at different times and sometimes at both times. So this is a very powerful matrix splitter/switcher.

Yes, an ordinary cable splitter like: RCA DH24SPR Two Way 2.4 Ghz Bi-Di Splitter should be fine. If you have a longer cable run, you may want something with a repeater in it to boost the signal. I've plugged in 2 TVs at a time this way with no problems at all.

I can't answer the specific question as I am a novice regarding electronics in general, but I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a "splitter" for HDMI Cable as it would seem that this would solve your problem

Sure, but remember that each split reduces the signal you might need a preamp or amp to overcome the distribution loss. A mast and eave mount brackets and RG6U cable and a roll of electrical tape to tape the cable to the mast

The instructions indicate that the antenna can be used for up to four TVs. I have mine hooked into an amplified eight way splitter. All connections are working fine.

Yes this should work. It is a combiner, not a splitter and there is a difference. I had the same problem trying to use 2 DB8 antennas. This combiner solved the problem.

Just remember that you'll lose signal strength for each split in the coax. Direct into the TV will be strongest with each split downgrading the signal slightly. You may need to look into adding amplifier. Check out this article. https://www.antennasdirect.com/blog/do-i-need-an-antenna-amplifier-with-my-antenna/

I don't think that is possible; however, if it did work with a splitter each television would show the same channel. I wouldn't recommend this converter box brand mine didn't last very long.

I bought this for a couple bucks a while back from another site and was hoping that it would work as a splitter (as you describe). It unfortunately won't work in reverse, so this will not work for you. You (and me) need a splitter.

Yes. As the previous answer indicated using a coax cable splitter. If the signal is to weak then you may have to add a small amplifier, that's what I did. Search Amazon for 'signal amplifier tv antenna'. Find an inexpensive amplifier with an 18 dB output. Should give you a range (reach) of about 30 miles.

I haven't tried it, but I'm sure you can use a cable splitter to hook it up to multiple TV's but not sure about the quality.

You would lose at least 3 dB or half the power if split in two plus the loss through the splitter - likely 4.5 dB total. Also, Noise figure may increase. That is a significant loss of power. Depending on how good your reception is, it is worth a try, but you may need another low noise amp or simply another antenna for the second TV.

I have not tried that so I cannot answer factually. Logically however, I think that you could. The HDMI input signal from source is not dependent on size of TV output - this splitter would split the output into two components and amplify to take care of any losses. If you try the setup you propose please post results so all can know. Good luck.
