Built the antenna here link (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=798265).

My antenna works great for hdtv. If I hooked up another uhf/vhf balun transformer to the coat hanger wires, could I run it to the FM port on my receiver and get signal? Would the tv and fm interfere with each other (only if on at same time?)

Thanks

I am using a splitter to run twin lead to my FM receiver off of a basic indoor antenna. Works great and there are no interference issues, so believe yours will work also.

A UHF bowtie antenna is hardly optimized for FM reception, but it will work OK for local signals as long as you live in a city or suburb. The receivers won't interfere with each other, even when both are running. Keep in mind, though, that any antenna captures a fixed amount of signal -- the more things you hook up to it, the less signal strength each device gets. In your case, that would be half the signal from each of the cables as compared to a single cable connected to a single device. If you have any DTV stations that are on the edge of the "cliff," reception of them they may become unreliable after you add the stereo to the antenna. That aside, you can't harm anything else by trying, so happy experimenting!

bob13bob,

The most efficient way to split the FM off the antenna is with the Winegard CA8800.

This will rob less signal from you TV than using a conventional splitter, or an additional balun.

bob13bob,
The most efficient way to split the FM off the antenna is with the Winegard CA8800.Or better yet, use an "HLSJ" if you won't be needing any VHF-LOW channels. It's only $3.99 plus shipping.

Just run the FM off of the "LO" output, and run the TV off the "HI" output.

A UHF antenna will not be very useful/practical for FM reception.
IMO... just get an FM antenna and run a dedicated coax to the A/V receiver.
