My father wants to add FTA to an additional room at his property for a total of 3 TVs. An RG11 cable is already present from an old sat install. As it stands now, there is 2-way splitter/booster (distribution amp) in use. I can't provide specifics on it, as he lives a few hours away.
The FTA channels are all in the UHF band ~600 MHz.

I was planning on replacing the current 2-way splitter/amplifier with either:

  1. . One in One amplifier + 3 way passive splitter
  2. (with unused leg terminated)


Questions:
1. With regards to option 1, am I correct in assuming that this can be adjusted to provide between 10 - 20 dB UHF gain? And therefore assuming a 6.5 DB loss on the 3-way splitter, each splitter output leg will have a net gain of 3.5 to 13.5 dB (depending on the gain adjustment of the amp)? Hence this will allow me to tune the gain as required.
2. With Option 2, the splitter has gain of 16 dB. Does this means that each output leg will have a +4 dB gain?

Many thanks, RHCP.
