    Ok i have to fix the connections in my attic.

    I need to join 2 inputs and then distribute the joined signal to 5 outputs what do i need ?

    Im guessing to join the 2 inputs ill need a combiner,something like this ?

    What is the signal source for the 2 inputs, Saorview/satellite/cable etc.?

    One is old analog cable and the other input is from a Saorview rooftop aerial.

    I can take pictures of the existing set up if that would help ?

    A distribution amplifier of some sort will probably be the best option to feed the 5 TV points.

    The question is what is the frequency range of the channels carried on the analogue cable, VHF and/or UHF? Saorview is UHF.

    Some amps cover only a certain portion of the frequency range, UHF only, UHF/VHF, UHF and part of the VHF band.

    I bought 4 way amplifiers from this crowd in the past:

    Delivery was prompt and the amplifiers worked perfectly. They do 6 way and 8 way as well.

    I now have just two tv's in addition to my main tv, but these amplifiers do a good job when there is a long run of cable involved. Very neat too.
