will this work as well when used as a combiner (multiple OTA antennas--&gt;HDTV)?

I don't think so, there are specific devices for combining. Never the less, from what I've research, combining antennas(except separate VHF/UHF antennas with the use of a VHF/UHF joiner/combiner) aimed in different directions onto the same feed line puts the antennas out of phase, and is likely to create multipath difficulties. I think best bet is to use a rotor or separate antennas on separate feed lines to an A/B switch.

Yes, I have two TV's hooked up to my antenna and they both work great. I am not a TV or antenna professional, but my understanding is that you could hook up as many TV's to the antenna as you want. The only down side is that you will lose some signal in the coaxial splitter needed to split the signal to go to multiple TV's, and the larger the splitter (more coaxial outlets), the more signal loss there will be. So, get a splitter with the same number of outlets as the number of TV's you have. Hope this helps.

All it does is combine antennas. That looks like a omni directional antenna. It looks like the two antennas would fight the signal from each other. But it combines any antenna you want to.

The connections are reverse SMA - so yes, if you have those connections on your antenna. But, you lose the MIMO function if all three antenna ports aren't used.

Should be fine, I have a directv box, Xbox, hone theatre pc, and Pioneer elite blue ray to 3 tv's and works great. Only prob I am having right now is I have 50' hdmi cables and the 4x4 matrix doesn't have enough power to push the signal that far so sometimes I don't have sound or it's purple or red, if I turn on the tv and then the device seems to work but I'm gonna add signal boosters to fix the problem.

my short answer is, I didn't know there such thing as HD Dish. I just assumed it was one dish, and different receivers. IFF, that is true, then this will work. However, I think you need to find out if there is such a thing as HD Dish, and if so, you will have to get that fixed first.

There are splitters out there to make this work. 2 go in and out into house and another spliter on the other end to the tv and satellite. It is called a diplexor and there may be nicer ones than this but heres a link Pack of 2- Holland Dishpro Satellite Diplexer - Dish Approved 2 amp version . This should work so your cable and satellite can live in harmony , so I assume it would work with antenna and then you just have to fight with hdmi cable to pull them both in (with a possible cable converter box) and an hdmi spliter.

I tried to hook up four TV's and it did not work. I put the antenna in the attic and split to three TV's up stairs and one downstairs. Signal was too low. I don't think it worked with just two TV's connected. I don't think this would work with any antenna out there. To be able to have multiple TV's connected to one antenna, I'm thinking would require a separate amplifier.

I have used it for both HDTV and for Radio. It works great for both! It will depend on your area (as with any attempt to gain extra radio stations), such as elevation and mountains, but I live in Michigan, and I am able to pick up very weak radio stations! I hope this helps!

Yes. I use it in a similar situation with my TiVo box and my Denon receiver. Instead of buying two separate wireless adapters for each unit, I have this behind my tv with 2 Ethernet wires: 1 to the TiVo and the other to the receiver. Has worked well over the last year or two for me.

While this isn't listed as a combiner/splitter I've been using it as an antenna combiner for my setup with absolutely no issues. Combiner? Spliter? Pretty much the same thing even though it's not labeled as such by all manufactures.

It will record two shows at once with an OTA antenna. One HD antenna will do, you don't need two. Due to different channels requiring a change in my HD ant. position, I had to give in & get basic cable again. I really tried, but couldn't deal with some shows being recorded to the extent that I couldn't enjoy watching the show. I even bought a different HD Ant., but still had the same result. Unfort. I'm not in a good position. But, I do love my TIVO.

The combiner will work to couple two antennas that are aimed in different directions. It depends on how strong the signal is from the broadcasting locations, as every time a splitter or combiner is used half of the signal is lost. If a signal strength is marginal to begin with, then it may be lost when run through the combiner.

Yeah, you need two and two adaptors. I'd look for a better antenna setup if I were you. I have this and it really didn't do much at all (I'm a ham radio operator too, so I know what a 9 dBi boost does...) It might be fairly cheap and easy, but is not much gain. a planar setup with booster would be light years better.

To be totally honest i don't know if that application is possible. I'm using it to mix the seperate hdtv channels of two seperate directional antennas. I'm not sure if there would be any interferance between the over the air feed and the catv feed. You might look for a coaxial switch simular to the ones used with video game systems. Good luck

You can certainly attach the antenna's output cable to a splitter and then attach the two TVs to the splitter. But since each TV will only be receiving half of the signal, the real question will be whether or not the signal strength for each TV will be adequate. Presumably, the amplifier that comes with this antenna would help out immensely in this regard.

You bet it works for that! I'm 40+ miles away from the DTV transmitter sites. Have a CM4228 antenna in the attic. Been using an EDA-2100 to boost the signals. Works great! In fact, I just cascaded a second amp to improve our Fox TV affiliate signal just a bit. So I have two of these amps essentially on series. No overload, and they work great in this configuration.
