Duplexing 2 Antenna together for HDTV Reception

I am needing to duplex 2 Antenna signals together for HDTV Reception.

Does anyone know if this is possible, both technically and would the 2 signals be in sync or would they interfer with each other?


I have 2 Antennas, one is very strong (does not loose signal), but is very directional. The other is not as strong (Signal drops out when a train goes by), but I do not have to move the Antenna around to get the station.

Thanks for any input you might have.

They would interfere with each other. Don't do it.
Try adding a signal amplifier to your weaker, non-directional antenna.

That is what I was afraid of.

I needed two antennas because one HDTV station was from a different direction. I just used an A/B switch to use both antennas.

I went to BestBuy and picked up a 10 DB gain amp and a switch box.

One or both of the solutions should solve my problems.
