hi guys


having been given a lovely small TV as an anniversary present, for our
bedroom, we are now in need of 2 TV arial points in the house. And
given that sprog has his own TV (currently in use as a monitor) it
will probably need to be 3. What's the groups suggestions for


1) splitting the existing signal ? (Masthead booster ?)
2) runnning wires around for the TV sockets ? (Bearing in mind the
prediliction women have for rearranging room layouts while you're at
work). Is there a recommended wireless hub that works for TV signals ?
Or is it better to bit the bullet and run cable ...


Normal way is to fit a UHF distribution amplifier. Aerial in and spurs to
the outlets. A 'masthead booster' is a different beast, and has to be
fitted at the aerial. The DA can go anywhere with access to the aerial
feeder. Mine is in the cellar, but the loft is often easier. They come in
various guises with commonly 2,4, 6 or 8 outputs.

You'll get them near anywhere - sheds etc - but here's a selection:-
