Using two Aurora converters

[petertheorgan]

Hi everybody
I hope this is in the right section.

I have just ordered my second Aurora converter, and I am hoping to connect it so that my two channel 1950's sets can get BBC on ch1 and ITV on ch9 just like when i was a kid.
How do I go about connecting the 2 converters together ?
Do I need one of those little boxes that were used for connecting a band 1 and band 3 aerial together ?
If so, does anybody have the circuit for one or know where I could find one.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Peter

There was an extensive discussion on this very subject not long ago:

For ch1 and ch9 you can probably get away with any standard aerial splitter unit, used backwards of course. The harmonics of ch1 don't fall in ch9 but don't blame us if you get some sort of patterning due to a beat with a local oscillator in one of your sets.

That's how I did it Just a basic Y splitter/combiner connecting the two outputs from the Auroras, then I use a 4 way splitter out to which ever TVs are flavour of the month. I've been using them like that for about a year now never had any problems with harmonics or beat patterning, even with all 4 TVs on together.
