Is it beneficial to use a signal splitter in reverse to combine signals from 2 antennas to make a stronger single feed?

Bob.

No replies? Maybe you should post in the computer forum.

As a guess, I'd say the only benefit to using two antennas is to grab signals from two directions. Not sure if you need a splitter for that. Remember that a splitter includes signal losses; the cheaper ones are probably more lossy.

For just increasing signal strength from one direction it is best to buy a larger antenna that has a higher gain. That type of antenna would also be more directional, to some degree.

Here is a good article on the subject, though I wish he would have proof-read it and eliminated the typos.

Cursory Google on this topic, if I understand what I read, was that two antennas will result in "ghosting"... Too complicated for my simple mind however, but there is LOTS of information on the 'net...

The article I posted recommends an antenna for each TV and if the stations are more than 70 degree a rotator for the antenna to point it at the right station. If you want a single antenna and multiple TV's you should put in an amplifier.

Maybe as mentioned antennas to grab specific stations from two different directions and an "A-B" switch rather than a reversed splitter, but I have no idea.

But it seems a good antenna and a rotator would be better than above.

Never heard of combining two antenna for a stronger signal. Don't think it would work. You could combine two or more antennas from different directions though instead of using a rotor however.
