Currently I am getting good Freeviewreception from what I assume to be a high gainaerial mounted on a 2 metre pole attached to my chimney stack. This seems to be the standard hardware for my area.
On a separate purely analogue TV I get acceptable reception of all 5 analogue channels. This is fed by an aerial designed for external use (a Yagi?), but in this case mounted in the loft. I hope to replace this with a new Digital TV (My broadcast area ceases analogue transmissions in October), however I do not want to keep adding high gain aerials to my chimney stack. Can I share my existing freeview aerial between two or more TVs (preferrably wirelessly? Alternatively, I note that when analogue broadcasting ceases, digital transmitterpower will increase; doe this mean it might become possible to run the second TV off a loft aerial (existing one or otherwise)?
