Depends WHAT you are splitting.

If you're splitting the VIDEO output (for best quality), then you can NOT
just use a Y socket, as the video signal is too weak (1V p-p). You'd need a
video splitter which are around £120+VAT'ish. You'd also run the L/R audio
to each room too.

You could of course, just split the TV (modulated) output. YOu can do this
with a Y socket, or for better reception use an amp with 2 outputs. This
way
is easiest as you then only have to run the cable to another TV and plug it
straight into it's aerial input.

Of course, what you could do, is run coax AND L/R audio cable. Then do it
the easy way. Then you'd have the correct cable if you later wanted to
upgrade to the better solution

Make sense ?
