Best TV aerial splitter
Updated: October 2026
You want one listing for a second Freeview set, or a small kit because the plugs on the wall do not match the televisions. Star ratings will not tell you which leg is male. This page uses the eleven amazon.co.uk rows in the [aerial splitter comparison](/hub/electrical-equipment/aerial-splitter). It is not a lab test. A qualifying amazon.co.uk purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you. For a strong indoor feed and a male plug into two female leads, the large review file is the Ancable T.

What best can mean on this shelf
Nothing in this set was measured on a bench. A two-way is about 3 to 4 dB of loss, which a strong signal can spare. Best here means the listing whose gender, housing and review file match a strong second set, with the failures written down. The order of those checks is on the TV aerial splitter buying guide. Four rows have no star average. A blank average is not a zero-star score, and it is not a reason to call the part the best. If the picture already breaks up on one set, no row here adds gain.
The metal T with the large review file
The Ancable, B07RZZCM8H, is a metal indoor T at about £5.99 with one male plug and two female sockets, 4.4 from 3,438 reviews. Buyers describe a sturdier case than plastic that fell apart, and a clear picture for two televisions or a television and a Freeview recorder, including a Manhattan box with no loop-through. The bullets claim no noticeable loss and do not print a decibel figure. The box is the T only. If the wall lead is male, the kit below is the closer match. A 12 V DC maximum is not power pass. One buyer at about 30 percent before the split did not get a usable second feed.
When a kit is the closer match
The AXFEE kit, B0CYCDFWLT, is about £4.79, 4.4 from 626 reviews, zinc alloy, 1 female to 2 male with plugs and couplers. Choose it when the aerial plug is male and you need spare fittings. Two contents bullets disagree, and the specification says F-type while the bullets describe TV coax plugs. The AXFEE single at about £3.99 is 1 male to 2 female, with a claimed 3.5 dB, and a smaller UK review file than the Ancable. The RUNCCI-YUN at about £8.98 has 4.4 from 562 and cross-threaded plugs in the reviews.
What to leave on the shelf
Leave the BAANI at about £3.49. The bullets say metal and the reviews describe plastic that twisted. Leave the Mercury at about £4.49 if you wanted metal: reviews describe light plastic that cracks. Leave GengHeXIN while it is plastic with no reviews, and leave HEIZHU, FMH and dsDAEDK while they have no star average, unless you already need that JR plug set. The SSL 6-way at about £7.99 is the wrong best for two sets. It is F-type, six outputs, with a 3.5 dB claim that does not match a six-way loss.
Common questions
Which listing is the sensible metal two-way if the signal is already strong?
The Ancable T at about £5.99, 4.4 from 3,438, 1 male to 2 female, indoor, with no adaptors in the box. It suits a strong feed and female leads on the two sets. It does not suit a female wall socket, a loft F-type run, or an aerial that is already weak.
Which kit is for a female wall lead into two male flyleads?
The AXFEE Type D kit, B0CYCDFWLT, at about £4.79, listed as 1 female to 2 male with plugs and couplers, 4.4 from 626. The HEIZHU kit is the same gender at the same price, with 5 to 1000 MHz printed and no star average. Prefer the AXFEE kit when you want a star line, and open the bag because the two contents bullets do not match.
Why not the cheapest 3.8-star Y?
The BAANI at about £3.49 is the cheapest row and the weakest star line, 3.8 from 25 reviews. Reviewers describe plastic and a port that failed, while the listing says metal. If you need male to two female and the signal is strong, the Ancable or the £3.99 AXFEE single is the closer metal choice.
Why not the six-way with 956 reviews?
The SSL at about £7.99 has 4.3 from 956 reviews and the wrong shape for two televisions. Six F-type outputs, a 3.5 dB claim, and reviews that describe lost satellite channels. Use it only when you already have several F-connector legs and a strong feed.
What about rows with no stars?
HEIZHU, FMH, dsDAEDK and GengHeXIN have no average on the listing. HEIZHU's 24 texts and FMH's seven texts are not the same as a blank page, and they are not 3,438 reviews either. dsDAEDK and GengHeXIN have no review text. Do not rank them as the best, and do not invent a star rating from a contents list.
Is a £14 Labgear in this table?
No. People often mean a Labgear F-type splitter at about that price. It is not one of the eleven kept listings. Do not copy another shop's loss figure or power-pass line onto the Ancable or the SSL. If you need that part, it is a different purchase from this comparison.
Who should skip every row and call an installer?
Skip the lot when the only television already breaks up, when the aerial is on the roof or the mast, when a masthead must be powered up the cable, or when the system is communal and you are a tenant. A Y-piece will not add level. A six-way with a power-pass claim is still not an amplifier. Those jobs need someone who can meter the downlead.
