As a Bengals fan, who does not live in Cincy, I have to find a way to watch the game Thursday. Luckily, I have. The people who owned our house prior to us left an antenna in the attic. Never thinking about it until now, I decided to take it out and see what might happen. It works wonderfully to pick up Cincy stations and therefore, the local broadcast the great NFL network didn't want us to see. My problem though is the current setup I have...I'm hoping someone might have an idea.

Currently, we have our cable, from outside the house, into a 3-way splitter with one strand going to each of the 3 rooms we have cable in. The antenna cable is also in the attic but does not feed down through any of the walls into any of the rooms. I'm hoping there is someway for me to be able to connect the antenna and the cable into some sort of splitter (2 ins and 1 out perhaps???) so that I can take the cable from the house into the splitter, the antenna into the splitter, and then take the splitter out, through our walls, into our TV.

If I sound like a rookie, it's because I am one. I'm guessing a splitter that has 1 in and 2 outs won't do this for us.

it wont be a 2 in/1 out situation, but any radio shack should have a combiner/splitter that has 2 inputs and 3 or 4 outputs...that what you want.
