rake splitter, problem!

Question

Hello everyone, I would like to share my problem with you!!

So, I bought a splitter to be able to have television in several rooms in my house.

The problem is that as soon as I use this splitter, I receive no signal at all.

However, using the single input and a single output with a female/female adapter works very well! The only issue is that I only have one TV that receives the signal... proof that my network works.

I thought my splitter was defective, so I replaced it, but unfortunately, with the new one, I have the same issue: I never get a signal when using the splitter.

I don't understand!! Maybe some of you can enlighten me!!

I didn't think the signal was that weak!!! Especially since I have a 4 outputs....

Now the kids are pulling your chin hairs to get the TV in their rooms ^^

So an amplifier is required, I suppose??
Do you have any advice on which amplifier to choose?? Should I get an amplifier that plugs into the mains (specific to the antenna??)

Forgive my ignorance!

Hello, I had the same problem with a splitter with 5 outputs. The power was not sufficient and I needed to add an amplifier. I installed a splitter with only 3 outputs and now there's no problem at all. As a result, I bought a second antenna for the other outlets (these are antennas in the attic).

Well ...... it's very simple, a 2-way splitter reduces the signal by 35% and a 3-way splitter by 50%, so if your signal was "a bit weak" to begin with in digital, you immediately get "no signal" !!
You need to put in an amplifier beforehand or an amplifier with 2 or 4 outputs.

if the signal is insufficient, the splitter does not work regardless of the number of cables connected. I chose the second antenna because I had space and an antenna costs less than an amplifier.
There are amplifiers that plug into the mains next to a TV. This avoids having to climb to connect it next to the antenna.

I don't have any outlets next to my rake (how silly!! *humor* ^^), so I’m thinking of buying an amplifier and putting it before my splitter, which is in my communication panel (there I have an outlet).

What a relief to know the solution to my little problem!!

Thanks to both of you for responding quickly.

Good luck,
