Will this coupler combine two combination UHF/VHF antennas without problems?

I have been using it for over a year and it has worked well. I have one Chicago antenna and one for Milwaukee, no problems.

Yes, that is why we purchased it. We have two antennae in our attic and wanted just one feed for the television. It came with good instructions and was easy to connect.

It's been working well for me for the last two months. You should try for about 8 feet of separation between antennas and try to get both leads from antenna to coupler the same length.

The combiner will work to couple two antennas that are aimed in different directions. It depends on how strong the signal is from the broadcasting locations, as every time a splitter or combiner is used half of the signal is lost. If a signal strength is marginal to begin with, then it may be lost when run through the combiner.

This unit will not do what you want. It will allow a single cable to carry the satellite signal that goes between the dish and the satellite set top box plus one of almost any other TV or FM signal. The second signal can come from the output of a set top box, from cable tv or from an FM or DTV antenna. You generally need two of these, one to combine the signals on one end of the single cable and another to separate the two signals on the other end. If you are trying to combine DTV with the signal coming directly from the cable company, I don't know of a way to do that. Both signals are in the same frequency range so you would need an RF A-B switch to manually switch from one cable to another. http://www.amazon.com/RCA-VH71-Slide-Switch/dp/B00009W3F2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393281571&sr=8-1&keywords=RF+A-B+switch. If you are wanting to combine analog Channel 3 or 4 from the output of a cable box with the DTV signal, that can generally be done with a UHF/VHF combiner used to combine a VHF antenna with a UHF antenna. The DTV would go to the UHF input and the set top box would go to the VHF. http://www.amazon.com/Radioshack-Combiner-150-2586-Gold-Plated-Connectors/dp/B001VLPQ6K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393281247&sr=8-2&keywords=uhf%2Fvhf+combiner.

You might want to investigate the Holland uvsj vhf / UHF combiner separator. These provide isolation between the antennas systems. Read the pdf on their web site.

When you purchase an antenna, make sure it's able to pick up both UHF and VHF. You may also choose to buy two separate antennas but that depends on your distance from the stations in your area. I got an antenna made by Antennas Direct and it works as advertised (and maybe just a little bit better than that). I have the Antennas Direct C2-V-CJM ClearStream 2-V Long Range UHF/VHF Indoor/Outdoor DTV Antenna with 20-Inch Mount. I'm about 35 miles from all of the stations and am very happy with this converter box. It's low priced and works.

Yes - that is the same setup I'm running. Keep in mind, if you're running an antenna on the same set of coax - it will not work correctly.

No, you only connect as many antennas as you have. It doesn't matter which you use. The antennas are all exactly alike.

If you have the cable cutting tool & the crimping tool, plus the cable ends. you'll be able to cut the cable a few feet below & make a joining connection, that would be my suggestion specially if you wanted to hook two or more antennas together with splitters/joiners as I am thinking of doing

I know of no UHF/VHF combiner/splitter that includes an FM trap function. As Antennas Direct has already mentioned, that function is offered as a separate devise. You can find some preamplifiers on the market that will include one or both functions, but if your situation involves strong signals already, a preamplifier can cause you problems due to overloading.

On a watt meter UHF output is just about exactly 4 watts on the high setting. I ended up going with a Diamond SRH805S stubby since I wanted this HT for UHF use anyway and I can say that the combo, even for a stubby and only 4 watts, is impressive as far as true distance is concerned. The stock antenna is not going to impress you for UHF IMO. Ron, W2ZXL

Yes, the antenna you specified is a UHF, VHF, digital antenna and this Channel Master distribution amp will work fine with it. Use good quality RG-6 Quad coax cable. You can purchase U.S. Made RG-6 Quad at any Lowes store. Hope this helps.

Mine is putting out 4 watts on VHF and 5 watts on UHF. In reality no one will be able to tell the difference between 4 watts and 5 watts

Yes Section 5 of the users manual says "Can this antenna work with Analogue transmissions? Yes, this antenna can receive analogue television broadcasts in the UHF and VHF bandwidths."

You'd have to try it, but I doubt it. You'll probably have to use two antennas hooked together.

Sounds like you will have conflict of two signals on the same bands. I have seen houses with two dish or antennas, but I suppose there is a switch in thier line or receivers.

I used it to combine 2 db8 antenna and they worked great. If you have a weak signal then yes i woul add a preamp/amp combo to boost the signal.

I am currently using them (I have 3 together) with a antenna direct db8. Works good.

IF what you are asking for is combine two signals that already carry UHF/VHF into one feed, I used a Wineguard CC-7870 ( Winegard CC-7870 Antenna Coupler ) to combine two Clearstream C2V ( ClearStream 2V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 60 Mile Range ) antennas pointed at different broadcast locations. Keep the cables near equal length for best results.
