Seeing the other thread on FM and aerials has reminded me about
something I've been meaning to find out about. I would like to have a proper FM aerial installed on the roof. The thing is that there are two receivers that I would like to connect it to. One is in the lounge at the front of the house and the other is in the dining room at the back. One option would be to have the coax coming down from the aerial, eirther at the front or the back of the house, bring it into the house and then split it somehow. I'd rather avoid this option to minimise internal disruption. I was wondering instead how feasible it would be to have two separate wires coming from the aerial - one going down to the front of the house and the other to the back. Would this need some fancy splitter or something or could the two coax leads simply be wired into the same aerial. (I guess there's also the option of having two separate aerials but that seems a bit over the top.) In case it's relevant, I get pretty decent stereo reception already with one of the receivers (its a hi-fi tuner component) even with the T-shaped bit of wire that came with it, so I reckon I'm in a reasonably strong signal areas. The other receiver gets weaker reception usually, but I think that is partly to do with there being fewer options in arranging its 'bit of wire' optimally because of how the room is organised. The latter would I think particularly benefit from a proper aerial but it would be a shame not to make use of it for the other receiver too. Thanks. Ian |
