Do I need multiple antennas to take advantage of this or can I simply run a splitter in the coax from one antenna? (noob trying to cut the cable!)

I believe it has an internal splitter/combiner. The beauty of the card is you can input two distinctly different signals as antenna and cable and record both at the same time

I am using an Audiovox ANT751R DGTL Outdoor Antenna. and am able to record 2 different channels at the same time without a splitter. It works great!

Whether you need multiple antennas or can use a splitter will depend on the strength of the signal. You can first verify that your antenna signal is sufficient on each input, if it is then you can invest in a splitter and see if that works as well.

One antenna with a splitter will work if the signal is strong enough. Every splitter weakens the signal and PC tuners are not as effective as tuners in regular tv or dvr's.

First let me say,The splitter is for satellite TV but I am using one for my "over the air" HDTV whole house system. Now let me qualify that. I am passing DC voltage to the RCA amplifier located at my antenna (on the DC pass through port) and running three TVs off the remaining non-DC passing ports. It is working fine for me in my application. Yours might be different. This over the air HDTV on more that one TV or even combining more than one antenna can get real frustrating! Hope this helps.

You need one multi-stream cable card, which supports up to 4 tuners. Guess you received enough answers now!!

You mount the antenna in an attic or outside, or I guess you could mount in inside, but you will get better reception the higher you can mount it. You connect the antenna to the TV with a standard coaxial cable. You would have to use a "spiltter" to go to more than one TV. The more times you "split the signal, the less your reception will be.The channels you get will depend on if your local channels broadcast "over the air". You would have to call those stations and ask them.

These are coaxial cables splitters...the thick, round cable from the wall with the copper center wire (usually for satellite or cable tv) can be split to distribute to other tvs in the house. Generally, there is one in and 4 out. It is not necessary to use all 4. All you need to do is loosen the coaxial cable for the source (usually a splitter is located in an attic or basement - where the source comes in and the cables can be routed above ceilings or under floors). Then, buy the additional coaxil cables to split off with. Tighten them to the outs and lead them to the tvs or modems or whatever. BTW - The less you split the signal and the shorter the run, the stronger the signal will be. Sometimes you need to buy an amplifier splitter that boosts the signal if there is a problem with the line - don't do this until yo have a service person check the signal.

If you only have a single coax input on your tv, you will needed some kind of coax switch, not a coax splitter.

Josie, you will need one for each TV unless you get a splitter, but then you will have to run coaxial cable all over the house.

Yes, an ordinary cable splitter like: RCA DH24SPR Two Way 2.4 Ghz Bi-Di Splitter should be fine. If you have a longer cable run, you may want something with a repeater in it to boost the signal. I've plugged in 2 TVs at a time this way with no problems at all.

I would be very interested in a work around for this as well... would you be able to add a "combining splitter" (?) that would channel both a uhf antenna and a separate vhf antenna coax cables into single coax cable to the TV or Digital tuner?... that's the only thing I could think of, but I have no idea if it would work...

Type in "coax cable" in amazon. One of the first things will be an "extension adapter" this allows you to connect the antenna to another cable. Then you just buy a coax cable of whatever length you need.

I don't know how else you'd do it. I'd recommend amplifier(s) as well. My splitter is approx. 10' from the antenna and splits to 2 TVs, which are approx. 40 and 50 feet from the splitter. Each TV has an RCA 10dB video signal amplifier 50-900 MHz model VH100 (Walmart, approx. $13) - works great!

yes you may split the signal. you can purchase a coax splitter at any radio shack store. do you experience a strong signal in your area. because if not you could have substancle signal loss.

No you can use a splitter for both Tv's but reception might be less. I would go to Youtube.com type in 'Coat Hanger Antenna' and save yourself 80 bucks . I did and I achieved 23 more channels that the Clearstream junk model.

Hook first tv with hdmi or audio video then run coax to second but if you arevhoping to watch separate channels on both tv you wont be able to

2 Ways, 1. Use a dual lnbf which will allow 2 separate coax from the dual lnbf to each receiver allowing independent viewing on each receiver. 2. If your receiver has a "loop" at the rear of the receiver run a coax cable to the 2nd receiver. This will allow separate viewing as long as the channel being watched on the 2nd receiver (piggy back) is on the vertical or horizontal of the 1st (slave) receiver channel being watched. Hope that helps.

Your pre-exsisting Cabling should be fine however the only thing is you have to make sure where ever you put the antenna you will need a connection from there back to the TV you are accessing. I'm not 100% sure if you have a few cable splitters how that will effect the signal quality but it is worth a shot.

I'm sure you could, but I don't think you should have to. A single coax cable would go into the attic to connect to the antenna/amplifier. In the bedroom, you could connect the power splitter to the coax. One coax from the splitter would connect to a power outlet, in the bedroom. The other coax from the splitter would connect to the back of the TV/Tuner, again in the bedroom.My setup has the antenna/amplifier in the attic, and the power for the amplifier is plugged in the basement.
