Can you split coax for TV?
A cable splitter will allow you to send the same signal to several devices. Coaxial cables, which is what cable providers use in your house, can carry a lot of bandwidth and are able to carry TV and Internet. So you can easily split the signal for both purposes.
Is an antenna combiner the same as a splitter?
The difference is that a splitter takes in one signal and makes two out, while a diplexer or combiner takes in two signals and makes one out. Splitters are commonly used for adding a second television to an existing cable. You’re sending half as much signal through each line when you split out the signal.

Can you use a coax splitter as a combiner?
The truth is that unless you engineer it differently, every splitter can also be used as a combiner. In most RF distributions, signals are always passing back and forth in two directions. A splitter or combiner would have to be specially engineered not to be bidirectional. See, a combiner is like a funnel.
Can you attach 2 antennas to a TV?
Combiners (which cost about $20) merge the two sets of signals into a single stream of TV. Using a combiner is as easy as plugging the coax cables from the two antennas into the combiner device and then using a third coax cable from the combiner to connect to the Tablo OTA DVR or TV. Easy peasy!
