How To Combine Two TV Antennas for More Channels

Tyler the antenna man I live in Franklin Wisconsin in a moble home 🏡 my friend ❤😅

Tyler the antenna man analog TV was better than Digtal TV my friend ❤😅

Tyler the antenna man ATSC 1.0 sucks 😢😢😢my friend

Tyler the antenna man I cant wight for ATSC 3.0 my friend ❤😅

I think you don't need a converter box for those TV's.

Combining two antennas is what's called co-phazing

I Like To Say : I Am Also Doing The Same Thing With Combining Some Antennas On My House Sometimes I Also Place The Antennas In A Different Position To Get Some Channels .

Thanks !!!!!!!

Perfect

love this channel. I've had a combo roof antenna for a few years getting about 30 channels. This guy is gonna help me maximize the other towers nearby.

Interesting.... I hav an indoor multi directional antenna covered in plastic. Other antenna is pointed towards RAL N.C with a basic splitter. Total channels, 53 ... long distance antenna I purchased from Ollie's for 20.00

I'm running to broken old antennas using a simple splitter and get 7 channels. When I just run one I only get 3 channels.

Every topic i look up, you have a video for. Well done sir

I just installed and am using a Winegard CC-7870 Antenna Coupler I bought on Amazon. Its doing a great job of interfacing my Clearstream 2V antenna facing northwest (that I am using for UHF channels in my area), and a homemade VHF Single Dipole antenna facing southeast tuned for channel 11 (28.1 inches in length, other VHF channels would benefit from their own calculated length). FULL DISCLOSER: The two antennas are shielded from each other and their signal direction by a distance of about 30 feet by using the house itself to isolate them, and then each antenna has a long run of RG6 Coax to the inside of the house where I am using the Winegard Combiner. Using a signal strength meter I have only noticed a 2-4% loss using this device, well tolerated for what its doing for me. Thank you Antenna Man for the wonderful and informative videos you have made. They have really helped us out here trying to cut the cord.

Got on Google and cruised down to Stellar Labs . . . website said No longer Available 😢

The cheapest way to do it is get. Digital converter boxes run each to an antenna and HDMI to the TV set Most TVs have three or four HDMI inputs

Missed talking about the televes multiple antenna input booster, filters. You also missed talking about atsc 3.0, which will make this issue irrelevant, if it is indeed multipath resistant.

The $79 televes 2 antenna inpu/filter/ booster balances the signals. I use it to combine the huge attic antenna under a metal roof, but still is better than the indoor antennas before the metal roof, with a modest MaxV, which looks like art and not an antenna and is barely noticeable. The two antenna are pointed 30 degrees apart, and strengthens and adds stations. I do not know if I got lucky, or if the Televes 560483 does more than just balance and add the signals.

I would like to see a video on testing the Televes 560483
Against multipath and just using 2 cables of equal length, while progressively pointing in different directions apart. Then test it against the $200 Televes SmartKom.

Also, someone commented that pointing 2 antenna 90 degrees apart puts the antennas in the null of each other. This makes sense and needs testing.

I realize that the antenna man is no Project Farm, but I have faith in him, especially as he started out as an enthusiast. My fear is that if 2 cables of the same length work as well as the Televes 560483, he might not publish this because of a televes sponsorship. Even worse would be if 2 cables and the 90 degree trick worked, allowing 270 degrees of directional gain - good enough for MeTv reception.

Get a PBR 😅thank you for your knowledge I am west Harrisburg.

I had no success with many attempts of different set ups and eventually just purchased two HDHomeruns....one for each antenna. Works great. And I have two non-DRM ATSC 3.0 stations which have excellent reception.

I live in a weak zone for reception. I'm very close to the Florida coast. I think if I lived more inland, my reception would probably be better. Been toying with ideas on trying to boost my signal.

A bi-directional broadband splitter can be used to combine the received signal from two antennas with the use of quality custom notch filters between each antenna and the splitter. We use them in the amateur radio and scanner world all the time for frequency isolation. You can purchase one or make one yourself. The frequency formulas can be found on the web.

Can you put three or more to get signals from 3 different directions?

Nobody knows more about anthennas than Tyler

Why do I get more stations when it’s cloudy

Can you explain the OTARD rule? The apartment I live in doesn't allow outside antennas, but the way I read the law, they can't legally prevent them. Am I misunderstanding something?

using a seperate tune box for different facing antenna connected to its own hdmi input gets this done for me. I am not combining signals just seperate antennas for each tuner box.

you are the best

Can you use this if all the signals are uhf but in different directions with two antennas

Anyone in the comments actually buy that Televes Combiner? That looks like magic in a box. Curious how it performs

The one on your porch whare you get and how much$$$

Can two antennas, both pointing in the same direction be combined to give increased signal strength?

I have an indoor (directional) antenna that is up high and flat on one wall on my bedroom tv. It is a good antenna (I get 20+ stations in a rural area), but I was hoping to get more stations from another direction, situated 90 degrees from the first antenna's position. So I was thinking of getting another identical antenna with the same length coaxial cable and put it on the perpendicular wall. I was reading somewhere on the internet that different length antenna coaxial cables can cause some kind of interference, hence the thought of getting another identical antenna. At any rate, I was thinking of connecting the second identical antenna using a Diplexer to receive channels from a 90 degree direction. I cannot use a Switchable splitter because the tv tuner needs to do a rescan each time, to pick up the signals from the two different antenna directions. Will a Diplexer work in this case?

I'm gonna have to do something like that soon. In my area, all of my TV channels were broadcasting from towers in the same general direction, but there's one station I watched a lot that moved the signal to halfway opposite direction of where my antenna is pointing at and therefore can no longer be picked up by that one antenna I have. Luckily I have some spare quality antennas laying around at home, so all I really need to do next is to get the splitter and perhaps some more knowledge on how to do this.

Multipatch interference So that's what it was, in fact one antenna would even kill my signal altogether so I "unhooked" the second
now back to the video to see what you say, I've already took you advice and have an order for new crimping and stripping tools and rj6
But I think my series 6 18 awg coaxial cable is the same as the thicker rg6 It just isn't as thick / skinner when I put on the crimp
connections. but I would like to change to the ends that look beefer and puch in from the ends and not crimp and make it sharp

Another option would be to use two antennas to connected to multiple digital receivers such as a HDhomerun, a media server such as mythtv can be setup to combine tuners from each antenna to watch or record all the channels received from each antenna on a single TV. The older HD homerun units even had inputs to each tuner.

Thank you for the video, you answered a lot of my questions.

I want to know can i use an indoor antenna although I have an outdoor antenna, maybe I don't understand this video but I don't think that is answering my question.

"Maybe they'll be some...PBS station that you don't really watch and it doesn't really matter"!
There you go again, knocking the only network that some of us <3

I can pick up both UHF and vhf channels but I have to move my intenna back and forth which way is best to use 2 inntenias

I live in a housing building with a total of 6 apartment buildings made out of brick. My TV comes I'm crystal clear when I pick up channels trying a couple different antennas. I don't have the option to use an out door antenna. My problem is I lose the channels often and have to go back and forth to try and pick up other channels. Can move antenna around but have found only one spot which happens to be a spot on mywall couple feet from my TV. I've tried several locations and a few indoor atteninas but nothing changes. Any ideas how I can fix the problem from having to keep losing the channels off and on the distances from receiving some channels and others are only couple inches apart but all will work for awhile before losing reception. What can I do

to use the combiner, do i have to somehow point one antenna only at vhf "area" and the other one only at the uhf "area", and then plug each into the labeled-coax inputs respectively? or can any antenna go into either of the inputs in the combiner? are those labels on the combiner just bs? and both inputs are exactly the same thing? and I just plug any of the two antennas into it? its not like all vhf and uhf channels come from separate/discreet and mutually exclusive zones/directions anyway right..?! i feel like this is more confusing than it should be...

Good evening, question! Have you ever tried to use an Omny directional antenna 840 - 920 MHz and see if it works better for you? antenna must be outside for better reception. I will try myself and let you know.

Have a rocketfish VHF/UHF antenna that does remarkably well (1 hr N of tampa area) getting all the channels I need except 1 (28 UHF) Is it possible to combine a UHF antenna with the existing combo (VHF/UHF) antenna? Thanks!

Is it better to use a converter box rather then the back of the tv?

Thanks man...I had no idea about multipath interference, now I know...

What if the signal is so weak that you want to point 2 antennas in the same direction towards the same tower and combine them to make one stronger signal, can you use a splitter to combine the 2 signals in this scenario without getting multipath interreference?

can 2 identical antennas create better signal than 1 antenna by itself ?
