Inline RF Splitter

[Vini]

Right, just moved into a house, which has a box behind the telly (presuming its an amplifier) which fixes the signal.

It has 'screw' Coax/RF connections, 1 in, 1 out.

the one in i presume is coming direct from the aerial. into the box, and the out is running to the back of the TV.

i need to split the "out" to give two connections, one for the TV direct and one to my PC into my freeview card.

the out has a "screw" end, which is fixed to the 'amplifier' and the other end is a normal male connection.

would i be okay to run the existing cable from the amp to a splitter,

then have a male 2 male cable to run to my TV and computer?

ie, would the splitter distribute the signal?

It would yes. You may find that splitting the signal degrades it though (try it and see). If it does then you can buy an amplifier with multiple (i.e. 2) outputs to do the job.

im just looking at this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ONE-FOR-ALL-SIGNAL-BOOSTER-TV-AERIAL-AMP-AMPLIFIER-4_W0QQitemZ5839069074QQcategoryZ73383QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) could i run it from one amp into another and out?

im not sure the thing we have at the minute is an amp, i think it is, but it only has one line in and one line out, i think the "in" comes from the aerial and the out goes to my TV, this doesnt explain why all the other tv's go off when i unplug it, or does ti?

That would be the sort of booster to get to replace it yes. I don't know why the other TVs loose their signal though. It sounds like there is more to your system than meets the eye. Some houses I have seen have the aerial coming into the lounge and then a lead back to the loft where it is amped/split to the bedrooms etc. Worth a check in the loft to see what is there too.
