I have a single TV aerial with a co-ax that drops down to the lounge. Going out from the lounge is a co-ax running to an aerial amp. in the garage.
The two leads in the lounge are joined together by a co-ax connector that plugs into the lounge TV.
Running out from the garage amp. is a co-ax feed to a TV in the den.
Also in the lounge is a drop lead to a di-pole.
We are re-arranging the lounge, so I was looking to re-route the aerial cables.
Sadly, the labels applied 22 years ago have dropped off, so I have no idea which is which.
But I digress!
Having disconnected the two co-ax cables from the connector that was plugged into the back of the lounge TV, I expected the picture to the den TV to drop out.
But it didn't. It only dropped out when I killed the supply to the aerial amp. in the garage.
Moreover, all three leads in the lounge give a perfect picture.....
So, how can a length of disconnected co-ax with a TV at either end and an aerial amp. in the middle give a perfect picture on both TVs?
