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.

Always degradation.


Not actually true.
If the signal is strong enough there will be no difference at all on the
digital set top boxes.
However if its too weak the results will be dreadful.
Mine splits three ways using cr@p splitters but free view works fine, but I
do get a good signal that requires an attenuator to stop channel break
through on analogue
