Yes, but the multipath will kill your TV picture. TV's require highly directional antenna to reduce the reception of multiple reflected signals. These reflected signals add "ghosts" and fades to your TV signal. If there is HDTV in your area a coat hanger would work for the signal. HDTV signals are digital whereas the regular TV signals are analog. The marine antenna may not work well on higher channels, it depends on its guts. What brand and model is the antenna?

The method of tapping is important as you do not want to transmit the VHF signal directly into your TV set. I would use a directional coupler with 20-30 of coupling. Use the direct ports for the VHF and use the coupled port to couple from the antenna, not the VHF radio.

You could also try a signal splitter with a large 1Kohm resistor in series with the TV line. You may get a crap picture with this set up.

Ahhh . . . so I have this VHF radio with an antenna high atop my mast.
Can I tap into that antenna for a TV?
Seems like it should work.

Thanks Gilly,
I just want to watch Oprah and then Action News. She might look better and the clouded weather reports will serve to keep me slightly over prepared.
