Becoming a cord cutter can take a bit of work and result in a lot of questions. The good news is being a cord cutter is easier than you may think, especially if you take time to do some research before you ditch the cable bill.
Some of the common questions I get is do I need an antenna for every TV and how can I easily connect a roof-top antenna to multiple TVs.
The good news is you can use different devices to stream your antenna to multiple TVs.
How I Use One Antenna for Multiple TVs
I use a Tablo DVR to not only record my shows but to also stream my antenna live to all of my TVs through its apps on many popular streaming players such as the Fire TV and Roku. That allows me to not only have a DVR, but I also don’t have to do any wiring to watch one antenna on all my TVs.
There is one other option called the HDHomeRun; however, I went with the Tablo DVR because I found it easier to set up and it supports Wi-Fi—no need to have an ethernet cable.
Other Options
If you are looking for a hard-wired option, you could use a splitter and run wires through your home. Or, if you are not using your home’s cable lines, you could tie into them; however, if you have cable Internet it could cause an issue with using the cable lines for your antenna.
Some people hire a handyman to come to their house and set it up for them.
Conclusion
Yes, it is possible to watch one antenna on multiple TVs, but if you have a strong signal in your house and an indoor antenna works for you, the least expensive way may be to put an antenna on each TV. Having multiple antennas is something to think about because Tablo costs $200 and hiring someone is not cheap.
