So a cheap 3-way splitter will do? From tvfool.com, looks like after 2/2009, ABC and CW will be using VHF while the rest is UHF. From the image, pretty much all the stations I care about are in the same location.
Splitting an antenna 3-way
I have the Dish ViP722 receiver. I would like to add a roof antenna, possibly the Channel Master 3010 or the Terk HD-TVS Slim Profile, to the OTA port of the receiver. By the same token, I would like to split the antenna feed to 2 more TVs. I think the total RG6 cable length is less than 150'. ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, MNT, PBS are 7-10 miles away. Do I need a special 3-way splitter, in-line amplifier, etc.? Are the antennas I mentioned OK?
Any help for a newbie would be appreciated. Thank you.

Alright, I ordered the Channel Masater 3010 from Crutchfield and the 4-way splitter + RG6 from Monoprice.
Changed my mind, went with the Channel Master 3016 instead.
I can't believe Channel Master sent me an open box of the 3010. Yeah, I changed my mind back after realizing how big the 3016 was. In the box, it's missing 1 bolt for the clamp. They are shipping me the bolts now.
I got the antenna installed yesterday. Got up to the roof and then realize the Dish installer cut my old cable that goes to the basement. I guess I will have to buy a new 100' cable and add it to the splitter next time. Right now the antenna is split to 2 TVs, both with 50' RG6 cables. Signal is very strong with just an estimated guess on the angle. :lol: CBS is 100%, ABC, FOX, CW are 95% and NBC is around 75%.
