What is an antenna combiner?

This antenna combiner merges the signals from a UHF antenna with a VHF antenna to a single downlead. The combiner is designed to mount directly to a mast using the adjustable mounting hardware and the housing protects the connections from corrosion. Coaxial cable sold separately.

Is a splitter the same as a combiner?

RF power combiners and RF splitters are the same items. The same circuits can be used to combine and split RF power, the only difference being that RF power is applied to one port and extracted from other in the case of the RF splitter, and for the RF combiner, power is applied in the opposite direction.

Can two antennas be combined?

Combiners (which cost about $30) 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.

Can an antenna splitter be used as a combiner?

Yes you can. Use a 2 way coax splitter “backwards” to combine the signal from the 2 antennas. Hope this helps!
