[QUOTE="andrewNZ, post: 789670, member: 103513"] Hi Ross. It is absolutely possible to combine signals, I don't think combining them at the antenna is the best idea though. I'm am an electrician, but don't claim to be an expert on TV areals, I'd definately run seperate cables into the house and combine them there.
