How many antennas di need if I have 8 tvs in separate rooms?

You will need 9. I don't see a t adapter. You could install it an run some coax cable but timeconsuming. YYou'd do better just to add this antenna to each set.

An antenna like the RCA ANT1600R is really designed to be used with a single television. In principle, you can split the feed to multiple inputs. For example, I have a dual tuner TV capture device that I use with this antenna, and it lets me record to my DVR from two different channels at once. However, the more you split the signal (and the more cable and connectors you add), the less power ends up at the destination. So you might find that even if you put the antenna in a prime location within your house, once you distributed its signal to multiple TV's around your house, the signal will be too small to be recognizable by those sets. Alternatively, you can investigate outdoor antenna solutions. Those antennas receive a stronger signal that can be distributed among multiple TV's to some extent. However, they require more effort to install and position, and your housing community may have rules against their installation. So I would recommend one antenna per TV. However, if you have two TV's that are reasonably close to one another, you could split the signal from one antenna between them. You'll need to purchase a separate splitter that splits the signal from the antenna. You should choose a splitter with the right number of outputs because an unused output may waste power and even introduce ugly effects that degrade signal quality on the other outputs. Just keep in mind that your mileage may vary -- even one antenna per TV can still produce poor results if you're in an area with low signal.

Depending upon how talented you are with electrical wiring and signal spliters, you may only need one digital antenna. I suggest that you try ONE digital antenna connected to ONE signal spliter to which you connect TWO televisions then trying switching channels on both TVs to perceive the results. Remember, not all TV's are configured to connect directly to digital antennas. Therefore, you may not be able to directly connect the digital antenna without an intervening analog to digital converter box.

I don't know. I have this antenna in my living room on my everyday TV and a homemade antenna in the guest room for the smaller TV.

You need1. one antenna 2. one 8 way RF HDTV Splitter and Signal Booster/Amplifierso each TV has enough signal strength and impedance matched.

Josie, you will need one for each TV unless you get a splitter, but then you will have to run coaxial cable all over the house.

I am currently using them (I have 3 together) with a antenna direct db8. Works good.

Tom - what is your question? If it's a matter of wiring more than one TV to the antenna,, you need a coax splitter. Hope this helps...

I have on HD and one regular tv with one antenna. Reception upstairs (ground floor) is excellent the regular. In the basement I have the HD and can receive 8 of the 12 broadcast stations. The problem is partially the angle as the stations missed are spread further apart in their broadcast locations. The rest maybe cable distance to the basement but I don't really use the missed stations when using the den.

I don't know about needing more or different ones. I have an older TV so I just used the cables that were sent with it. Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

Same as G. Bains' list of items. Also, you DO need coax FROM the antenna to the amp, as well as FROM the amp TO the TV(s), and possibly a splitter and more coax if you have more than 1 TV.

You'll need an Amp as well. The best one I've tested so far I bought at Radio Shack. It has two adjustable amps; one for the line going to the TV's and one adjusts the gain of the antenna mounted unit. Speaking of which, the amp has a unit that will mount at the antenna and another that will mount inside and need power. The indoor portion will provide power through the coax to the antenna mounted unit, so you'll need to make sure any splitters you have in line have a DC bypass. My house in pretty much in the same situation as yours and this antenna wasn't ideal. While all the panels are facing the same direction, the antenna is strong, just like the much cheaper DB8. However, if you try to point the panels in two different directions (like it's supposedly designed to do), you lose too much gain. Once trying that, I lost more than half the channels I was getting.

I ran coax cable from the antennae mount to the house, some 50 feet away, and split the cable at the house. The coax runs to two different HD tvs at opposite ends of the house. The picture is great on both TVs. I don't know for sure how two more tvs would affect the signal but my guess would be that it would be fine.

Each outlet is paired with a channel on the remote, which has five channels. So the max would be five individual separate outlets. I would not expect a second set to operate on a different range of frequencies. But to be sure I would contact the manufacturer.

Yes, I would say that you have to run it to the splitter, to get it to send the signal to all of the TVs. My concern is if this would cause the signal feed to drop off from impedance through all the wires leading to the five TVs. You might need to use a signal booster. You need an expert Opinion on your situation.

No you can use a splitter for both Tv's but reception might be less. I would go to Youtube.com type in 'Coat Hanger Antenna' and save yourself 80 bucks . I did and I achieved 23 more channels that the Clearstream junk model.

It's supposed to be as many as you want as long as the code is set the same between all units. I have had issues with the 2nd one I attached changing channels but I think that is a remote issue....signal still works fine.

As many as you'd like. It's your antenna and your TV's, you don't have to play by anyone else's rules, man. You can buy signal splitters for a few bucks each from lots of places; Home Depot has a nice selection. These splitters are available in 1-to-2 or 1-to-4, but you can gang them together to hook up a dozen TV's if you want. If the lines get long, you might want to purchase a signal amplifier -- also pretty cheap -- to make sure the signal is strong to each TV. All of this works great, and the picture is better than most cable systems provide because it's NOT compressed. The problem you're likely to run into, though, is finding a DVR that'll work with an antenna. Choices are few, but Channel Master probably offers the best. Magnavox also offered a combination DVR/DVD-R at one time, dunno if they still do.

You will need 2 units, unless you already have a wireless client on one end. You will need to mount the antenna on the outside of the building where you have line of sight to your endpoint. You will have to run CAT 5E (I would use the Ubiquiti Tough Cable & use the shield if you are mounting outside).

My guess would be yes as long as they are set in the same channel and frequencies. I do recommend check the limit number of units could work together. I am sure 6 would not be an issue.

IF what you are asking for is combine two signals that already carry UHF/VHF into one feed, I used a Wineguard CC-7870 ( Winegard CC-7870 Antenna Coupler ) to combine two Clearstream C2V ( ClearStream 2V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 60 Mile Range ) antennas pointed at different broadcast locations. Keep the cables near equal length for best results.

+You can use a splitter on the coax between box and Tv only one TV will have access to the antena direction
