Does it work OK without the splitter (direct to antenna) or on the other output of the splitter?

Afternoon Lorayne

The splitter you have might have a "one port power pass". Port simply means one of the outputs from the splitter will need to be continuously powered on from the TV or the receiver in order for the rest of the equipment to work.

So it might look like the main TV is connected into the port where it holds the Power Pass, if you switch off the TV in the main room then the TV in your bedroom may not work.

Try swapping the cables around in the splitter (Except the one from your aerial) and see if this changes.
