I know u can get these as a little plug in box, to give you two aerial sockets, but has anyone seen available a Y shaped cable, two seperate coaxial cables that join together at one end into a single plug?? Its for a friend and i think they would rather purchase a ready made unit than have me solder one up

Picky

here is one on ebay 99p!! LINKY

I have a 2 into 1 Y Aerial connector. I have it plugged into a signal booster box

did you find the signal booster was needed if two TV's are drawing signal from the same aerial through an adapter?

One aeriel was pointing at London and the other was pointing to southern channels. The booster box saved me manually switching aerials.
My daughter now has the equipment to run 2 TVs from 1 aerial. She has only just set it up so I don't know the results yet.

Everytime a signal is split (or combined) with one of these units the signal is effectively halved, which is the reason a booster is often used to get round this problem.
Low loss splitter/combiners are available but they will lose a consierable amount of signal.

right well i am going to try the non powered splitter and see if it works. going to feel like i wally if it doesnt work when both TV's are on though

I believe that the input amplifiers on your average telly will be of such high impedance that you will see no appreciable loss when connecting 2 or more televisions to a decent source aerial ... if your aerial is pants, or signal strength low then you may see problems.

I can say for sure (living in student houses way back when) that you can connect at least 3 or 4 televisions to a single aerial using those 'poundland' aerial splitters.
