Beauty of FreeView tuners is they all have an aerial in and out.


Ah, so they could be daisy-chained and only the first one in the chain
would need to be connected to an aerial? That would be good.


Yes - most of these seem to have some gain, so daisy chain fine.

Then pick up the wanted one - via a switch - to a local amp and
speakers.


I was hoping to avoid the need for local amps, but (as I've just said in
a different post) the drawback with just one central amp is that each
room would have the selected sound playing at the same time. That's
not really ideal.


It does all sound a fiddle, but once done works brilliantly. I first went
for it due to poor FM reception in this part of London. Portable radios
faded and farted. The basis of it is getting on for 40 years old. Only
major change is FreeView rather than FM tuners.
