How to hook up two Silver Sensors

[Sharpie]

I am getting tired of getting up and readjusting my Zenith Silver Sensor to see specific channels while channel surfing. So I was thinking about going out and buying another Sensor to take care of this problem. I have absolutely no clue how to hook the two antennas together. What do I need to get? I don't know if it matters but I will be hooking them up to go into my Samsung TS360 receiver. Your help is greatly appreciated.

You could always go with a Turntable !
Find a old Phono Turntable and set it at 33 1/3 then put the antenna on top !



Yep....I'm just kidding !!

Two antenna tied together is usually not a good thing, theoretically okay but for practical purposes not, even in the article mentioned above the writer admits you may not be able to get this to work. Read the last few paragraphs!!

Rs 15-1870

I'm using this model, http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062082&cp=2032057.2032187.2032189.2032204&pg=2&parentPage=family

After a fairly quick and easy set-up process of programming remote codes, this antenna automatically rotates for optimum reception when I change OTA channels. I use it to pull in about 15 DTV channels within a 20-25 mile radius. Signal strength ranges from upper 70's to mid 90's (out of 100). Got it for half price at my local RS. I love the damn thing

Cheers!

You should be able to hook up two Silver Sensors by using a 75 ohm two set splitter that is rated to 800 Mhz or more. This is the common type of splitter used by cable companies to feed two tvs from 1 coax. In theory you'll have a better chance of success if the two antennas are pointed 90 degrees or more apart. It'll take some fine tuning to get the maximum number of channels.
