Questions & Answers
The answer depends on the circumstances. It is also important to remember that amplitude also amplifies noise, which can be very difficult to avoid when combining antennas. To ensure your cable lengths are identical, make sure you are coming into the combiner with the exact same length. Please accept this as my sincere apology.
That is exactly what I intended to do with it. To plug the splitter into the TV's coaxial input, you need a short coaxial cable, and to plug the antenna into one of the splitters, and the DVR into the other, you need to plug a dual coaxial cable. I am able to switch between over the air digital channels with my TV remote or to channel 3 for the DVR on the The DVR does not interfere with me anymore, and it is an effective tool for me.
If you have a complete IR it means that you have passed You can control your whole house over the coaxial cable in your home. If you don't need it, it won't hurt you, but otherwise it is not necessary.
It is not possible to split the satellite down with the 2512 Splitter/Combiner The signal from a dish is being received. In addition to splitting a CATV Signal, the 2512 can split a Terrestrial Broadcast TV Signal and even the RF Channel output from a CATV system You can get a satellite receiver or a top box.

This splitter/combiner was used to join the Marathon Antenna.
As the transition from analog to digital TV has gone well, it has worked well. The signal quality was not bad because of the orientation of the signals, but I knew it could be better with the addition of aluminum backed reflectix radiation barrier insulation to the attic walls (knew it would degrade the signals, but figured I could work around it). Rather than installing the radio shack antenna and reflectix insulation within the house attic, I purchased a 70mi omnidirectional antenna and mounted it at the highest point inside. As my area is not very conducive to reception, I rotated the antenna of the radio shack. In the next step, I used the combiner to assemble I was thrilled with the results. The air/antenna TVs were rescanned and the picture quality was improved on each as a result of adding quite a few channels. There is therefore no degradation when using Thank you for the great.
As a result, I was only able to receive a fraction of the channels I would have been able to receiving from either antenna individually if I had been using this Channel Plus 2512 Two Way Splitter/Combiner. Because the return period had passed by when I tried returning the item to Amazon, I was unable to do so. In my mountainous remote area, my OTA signals come from two directions, so I purchased two RCA Compact Outdoor Yagi HD TV Antennas with 70 mile range and mounted them in different directions in my attic. That didn't When the antennas were properly setup, I tested reception of each antenna separately and found that all of them were able to receive the greatest number of stations. To my surprise, I could not receive half of the number of channels I was able to receive on either antenna separately when I combined the signal with the Channel Plus Two Way Splitter/Combiner. My next step was to purchase the Winegard LNA-4 The 200 Boost XT HDTV Preamplifier was attached to the antenna pointing in the direction that was receiving the most channels, and to my surprise I was able to receive more channels than what any antenna (when added together) would have received separately. I now cannot return the extra antenna and will have to buy a second antenna and then hook them up once they arrive, and see how many channels I actually get from it.
As expected, it worked perfectly. Initially, I had only a single antenna that was good, but it supported only UHF frequencies. A second antenna, broader and capable of supporting both VHF and UHF, existed. With each antenna, you can receive about 40 channels at a time. It is a lower 3 combiner, so that is why I chose it. The cheaper ones had a higher loss, whereas those with a 5db insertion loss had a 5db When just one antenna is used, I am actually only getting 26 channels on the single antenna, so those extra 3 channels are a very significant benefit. It is important to pay attention to 5db. The amplifier will be placed right before the channel inserts into the combiner by now, so that my channels will be improved. Regardless, this seems to work just fine.
Using this, I can see all the stations. The program does what I needed it to do. The antenna I have is about a foot from the gutter at the west end of my roof, One antenna can be placed on the east end of the roof, in front of the peak, pointing west, and the other facing south, the one pointing south receiving CBS Harrisburg Three networks and sister stations from Scranton, Pennsylvania are transmitted by the other antenna. I found it a bit frustrating to switch from the a/b box every time I flicked through the channels just to see what was on Harrisburg cbs. Although it's not perfect, one of the broadcast channels is channel 21, the other is channel 22, so I had to buy a Walmart amp ($15) before the combiner, to increase the Harrisburg broadcast, so the other antenna didn't overpower Occasionally, the Scranton antenna gets pixelated, but after I settle on a channel, if it's getting pixelated, I unplug the amp, then everything comes back to life (I just lose Harrisburg until I replug it. *) The regular splitter failed miserably, and switching antennas through an A/B box gets old quick, so I'm glad to see This is especially so considering how much it costs.
