Coaxial Splitter Question...

We want to run 2 TVs in our living room. Can we just use a splitter and have two independently functioning TVs?
Appreciate y'all.

Where do you plan on splitting it? Is it antenna line or from cable/satellite box?

Yes. Use a quality splitter and make sure the connection is hand tight not loose as this will cause ingress and interfere with the picture. Keep in mind every time you split the signal you will loose some. A 2 way is typically a 3.5 db loss which is OK in most cases. A 3 way will jump to 7db on the 2nd and 3rd ports.

Yep. They are likely split at the point of entry into the house, so splitting again shouldn't be a problem. We did this in my dorm room in college. My roommate had a huge (at the time) 32 inch TV and I had a 19 inch. We'd have multiple games on in the mornings before heading up to tailgate.

Make sure you get the correct splitter, otherwise your signal is going to be garbage.
