Wiring a single tv aerial to 2 aerial points

LionKing

Thanks Intel. I have three wires though (one direct from aerial and one each from the two aerial points).

How do you directly connect three wires ends??

Dunno..... well sort of..


I would try what I posted earlier that picture above.. dirt cheap aswell.

You can do it any way just so long as the outer wires for each cable are connected together, and the inner wires for each cable are connected.

If you don't mind about it being pretty, you can have all the cables connect together in a sort like my very crude artist's impression




Then just tape it up so that the outter wires and inner wires don't touch

Of course doing it that way means you can't exactly hide it under the carpet

I had a similar problem and found that the best, and cheapest way was to fit a 2nd aeriel in the loft (got it cheap at a car boot sale) . I like to keep it simple

Hi,,

Hope this is rigght section to post. Just fitted a single aerial in loft. How do i connect two co-axial wires (one fropm each aerial point) to single input on aerial??

Lion King, can I be nosey and ask where you bought the aerial and if it was easy to fit. I need to get one for my kids rooms as we have NTL downstairs and all these indoor aerials don't work for us. I have been quoted £250 plus to install an aerial on the roof with a couple of points although I see you can buy an aerial in Argos for 50 quid. We have a loft conversion but still have some storage space so presumable I could avoid having to have it fitted to the chiminey. Any advice would be gratefully received.
