Understanding Aerial Distribution Systems
In many modern households, the need to watch television in multiple rooms has made aerial distribution systems an essential consideration. One common question is: how many TVs can you run from a single TV aerial? The answer lies in understanding how distribution systems work.How Distribution Works
A typical TV aerial receives broadcast signals from local transmitters. These signals can be distributed to multiple televisions using:- A passive splitter - divides the signal between TVs but can reduce the strength each set receives
- An amplified splitter, or distribution amplifier - boosts the signal to maintain quality across all connections
Setup Options
- Basic Setup: Two to four TVs using a passive splitter, especially in strong signal areas
- Advanced Setup: For homes with more than four TVs or where signal quality is an issue, a powered distribution amplifier is recommended
- Loft-box System: A central hub where the signal is amplified and sent through the home's internal cabling to various points
Professional Installation Benefits

- Recommend the right type of distribution setup
- Ensure the installation meets industry standards
