    im having trouble connecting 1 aerial to 2 tvs (have both tv watching the same channel), ive followed the instructions brought with a product correctly and it doesn't work and i seem to dont know why.

    i have 1 freview/digital satellite dish thats is connected directly to the main tv (no sky/cable box etc), tv works,good signal. just brought a brand new tv, and i want to connect them both from the single aerial. both tvs are hdtv
    went to the electronics shop brought the products

    1.y splitter
    2.coax connectors
    3. extra cable

    ok now...
    1. ive cut the between the cable running from the dish to the main tv, 2.add the y splitter
    3. connect the main tv cable back
    4.no signal/signal on for few secs then die etc.

    5.took the y splitter out, then connected then aerial and tv back to together, works fine as normal.
    6.it has something to do with the y splitter but not the fact that it is faulty because ive tried it with 3 different brand new splitters, same result.

    EXAMPLE PICTURE OF WHAT I DID
    ive followed a manual and did exactly but it doesn't seem to work

    has anyone have any idea whats wrong
