Friend has a bog standard aerial in her loft. cable runs down inside of walls and comes out at aerial point in living room (thats a coincidence eh??)
Anyway, her son now has a TV in his bedroom upstairs and gets very poor reception with a small TV top aerial even with a booster on it.
How easy is it to take a split from the aerial and feed it 2 ways ie. cut into it, keep one going to the living room but feed another through to the bedroom (could just drill a small hole in the ceiling of the built in wardrobes and bring it in that way)
Is it just a case of cutting the cable and then using a y-connector or is it a bit more complicated doing this at the aerial? Also will she lose quality by splitting the signal?
I know when I got an aerial fitted as it was going to 4 different rooms they fitted a powered booster in the loft but would this be necessary in this instance?
