Hi.

Is there a degradation in signal if I split it 3 ways from the aerial?

I'm just about to install a new aerial myself and want to do the job
properly. I've not installed an aerial before, but I'm fairly good at
electrics etc.

Thanks, in advance.

Obtain a 12dB attenuator. Connect the aerial to a receiver with the
attenuator in line. Observe the results for several days. If everything is
OK obtain a three way inductive splitter (a small thing wth f connectors
built into a metal case; not any other type) and connect ther aerial to the
input of the splitter and the three outputs to the downleads.
If the attenuator test is a fail obtain a small one-in four-out amplifier
and fit it fairly close to the aerial.
