Question for those running OTA Antenna's to multiple TVs.. should I have a separate antenna for each TV? I have one for the main TV on the far side of the house..the main living room is in the middle and the back bedroom is on the other side.
They are already wired and I could easily split them to the existing antenna I have, but don't want to mess up what I have going right now. I literally lucked into catching CBS, and I don't want to move my antenna and chance losing it.

I think I have posted before about having a Homerun box. My antenna connects to the box and the box connects with a cat5-6 to my network. I can watch TV through the Homerun app on any TV or computer on the network.....I haven't tried the my phone. I usually watch on my computer using Windows Media Center but if you have windows 10 then it doesn't come standard with WMC anymore. And I have WMC integrated with Kodi so I can watch OTA channels on Kodi. WMC can also act as a DVR for OTA channels which integrates with Kodi also. So if you have a cat5-6 near where your antenna is now you could put the homerun box there. You may have to get a cheap network switch if you only have 1 cat5-6.

I use the same splitter posted above. Works just fine. 6 tv, one antenna. I pulled out the splitter direct tv had in the attic and swapped with this one. I was able to use the existing coax.
