split signal to 2 tvs? Can you use some type of splitter to connect this to 2 tvs? If so will it degrade picture/sound?

I normally goto tvfool.com and use actual address, and it will tell me what channels to expect, with different types of antenna, either indoor or roof or ... It's prediction is very accurate. I will try different location with mohu, and have the tv re-scan and "re-save" the frequency every time. Took 1 hour to find the sweet spot, but well worth it.

Wow, I've never seen this website before. Thank you for the information, it made my choice a lot easier and gave me a good idea of what to expect. Thanks a ton.

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 use a splitter with Leaf antenna, one to the actual TV and one goes to my mac hooked up to the TV to broadcast over my home network. There is no noticeable signal quality degradation that i notice but if you are super fixated on that aspect, you may notice a difference. If you're using an antenna though, you should expect a perfect signal anyways so... THe splitter i use is one i had laying around, the cable company installed it a few years ago to split the cable in my house and it works fine for this too. Obviously the split quality will depend on how strong the signal is when it reaches you.

With a high quality 2 way splitter the signal loss will be about -3db (half the signal) at each output. The cheap units may be worse. The use of a RF splitter depends on the signal strength in your area. Also the losses thru a long run of RG6 cable. Should more cost effective to go with two separate antennas.

I live in a mountain area of Vermont. This paper thin antenna, did NOT work at all, not even one station came in. I use a regular house top digital hd antenna and get 15 stations. Is there something better out there ?

Use an inline "powered" amplifier to boost the signal. Many have two or more outlets. Radio Shack has them, probably Amazon, Best Buy, eBay, or your local hardware store, will have them too. They're cheap no frills and do the job.

A complete Phillips amplified antenna we bought for even less than the price on Amazon does an excellent job on UHF and upper VHF when properly adjusted. Location and orientation are important for any design, but they're especially important for indoors mounting because of signal attenuation and multipath.Philips SDV2740/27 HDTV/UHF/VHF/FM Digital Indoor TV AntennaWith amplifier at maximum level, it works almost as well through our Sony HDTV as Ruckman's DIY fractal design.The Philips device is made in China, if that is one of your buying criteria.

i would just split the component or composite cables, whichever you have. just seperate the two sound wires from the video cable/s and connect the video to your tv and the audio to the audio in on the system. easy.

This is not a signal selector which is what it sounds like you need. This takes one HDMI source(Blu ray) and splits it to 4 different Hdmi monitors. Look for a hdmi source selector

I don't thank that you could use this one for what you are trying to do. You would need a splitter that would go from (1) source in and send it to 2,3 or 4 out, as would the # VPHDMI04 is a 4 way for 4 tv. sets from one computer. Using HDMI cables you could see the computer on all 4sets. you would not have control at the 4 sets. The computer would be the only place that you could control all 4. AT Amazon.

no. this splitter starts at one source and goes to two different tvs. not one tv to two different sources.sorry. i will say that product is out there. make sure you have good hdmi cables.

You definitely can use it with multiple TVs. Depending on the strength of your initial signal, you may need a preamplifier or distribution amplifier though. I encourage you to get advice on your unique installation from our free tech support at 877-825-5572.

That one would not work for me either. Returned and purchased OREI HD-104 1x4 4 Ports HDMI Powered Splitter for Full HD 1080P & 3D Support (One Input To Four Outputs) This works great to split cable signal to other tv's. Works without delay.

No this is the opposite, this is for splitting one source (cable box) into two TVs. What you need is a HDMI switch. Like these (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_4?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-k;eywords=hdmi%20switch&sprefix;=hdmi%2Celectronics%2C288)

Power not required. I suspect if you live far enough away from the source, or you split it aggressively, you might need a powered signal booster, but for us the signal is outstanding when split to two TVs, no power boost.

Can't help you I don't use one of these splitters. I use 1 in and 4 out from my laptop to 4 TVs I also use a 4 in and 2 out with audio extractor Both had to be programed with my CP to work properly.

Yes, with a splitter it can easily handle two TV's. You can buy splitters from Amazon or a local hardware store or electronics store (like Best Buy or Radio Shack).

Not unless your computer has the option to extend its display. Even so the two tv's would show the same image as this is a splitter...

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 can use splitter. Let me tell you I have returned this device it was not worth the price and signals were very weak.

So you want to split one in to 2 outs?, yes you can. I have a cable box connected to 2 TVs and works fine

Keep in mind that this unit is a switch and not a signal divider. You can connect it to two TV's, but only one TV will be active at any given time. The unit allows you to connect a cable box to both TVs but only one of the TV's will have a signal, depending on the switch setting.
