Hi
I would like to connect my hi-fi's tuner to my TV's communial aerial
socket on the wall with the aid of some sort of coaxial splitter, is
this possible? On the rear of the hi-fi are the aerial connectors which
appear to accept strands of exposed wire by pressing and releasing a
small lever. The five connections are split between 300ohm, 75ohm and
AM. Whats the best way to get a decent reception from the tuner?
Thanks for any advice.

You can get passive splitters that are fairly good devices. Try any radio-
TV parts store for one of those. Connect one output to your regular TV's
antenna connection and the other to the 75ohm input on your tuner. This
will get you any FM signals that are being carried on the communal system.
For AM, you're better off just attaching as long a piece of wire as you
can, unless you want to get into special active antennas.

Thanks for the reply Dave.
From my question you will probably realise that I am a complete novice
here. Can you send me a link to an image of the passive splitter you
have in mind. Everything that I looked at on the web did not seem
appropriate. Just to elaborate I will be able to connect a two stranded
wire to the back of my hi-fi's tuner aerial sockets (To the 75ohm
inputs as you recommend), so how will I connect the other end of the
wire to the passive splitter?
