My Avtex whip aerial got damaged recently and so ive had to replace it. I opted for the Milenco Omni-directional one which I know people will say aren't as good as they say, but I would say it'll be better than the whip aerial.

Anyway, my old whip aerial had two outputs, one for radio and one of the TV, but the Milenco one doesn't, it just has TV output.

Would I be able to fit a coaxial splitter from the booster output, so that one output goes to the TV and the other output goes to the radio?

Don't know what booster box you have but the one in our van has at least 2 outputs anyway one going to the tv and the other goes to the radio/cd player may be worth a look at your booster

That's the same with the booster box in my caravan as well as I linked both the TV and radio/CD player that way via a Vision-Plus omni-directional aerial. Works okay for us.

New booster that came with the new aerial only has one output (my old booster had three, but it didn't seem to work with my new aerial)

So the question would be, can I plug in some sort of coaxial splitter from the new booster, therefore giving me two outputs.

Would this effect the TV signal in any way? I mean if its a choice of one or the other I'd rather have the TV (rainy days are really slow without a TV)
