Hi All,
does anybody know whether or not aerial splitters should have a series resistance built in.
I have recently purchased both a 2 way and a 3 way splitter.
The 2 way reads at 0.6 ohms, which I assume is actually a direct connection between input and output.
The 3 way reads at 76 ohms, this is confirmed by the presence of 3 resistors mounted internally.
Why is there difference?
I want to split a single input across 3 devices; 2 TVs and a Humax FVP-4000T, none of which are further than 2 metres from the source. I also have a Virgin V6 box but that, of course, is connected via cable.
At present my 3 way device seems to be working O.K. but would I be better off with a combined 3 way and signal booster?
We are based in Bournemouth and have a good strength signal from the Rowridge transmitter.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Best Regards
