Default Adding another antenna to my existing antenna set-up

Hello. *I have an antenna in my attic and 2 digital converter boxes

considering building an antenna as shown in this video and pointing it

My question is this....how do I add another antenna to my existing
system? *Is it as simple as just running BOTH antennas into a
splitter? *A splitter is generally used to split a signal into 2
signals, but can it work the other way (combining the signals from 2
antennas into 1 signal which will go to my TVs)?

Thanks a lot!

When I was a kid, our family home had 2 antennas on the same pole,
they were just wired parallel, the TV sorted it out. That was in the
days of flat 2 lead wire, but I don't see why it still wouldn't work.
I'd just use a cable splitter on the pole. For the bother this will
be, couldn't you just use a rotor.
