and, as for driving the signal to TWO tvs, it really depends on what you are actually trying to accomplish. You can certainly split the output of the Wally to mirror the signal to two tvs, if that's what you wish, but if you are wanting two TVs to have access to whatever channels each wishes, then no, you cannot drive two different signals from the same receiver. Each TV needs it's OWN receiver, but the single output of the Tailgater4 antenna is THEN the issue, as each RECEIVER needs it's OWN antenna output.
Some antennas, like mine, which have TWO outputs, though, make the 'secondary' output a 'slave' to the primary output, meaning that what you watch on the second receiver's TV is limited to what SATELLITE your primary receiver was programmed to initially, and as long as that primary receiver stays on the same satellite....that can lead to some confusion, but it does make TWO tvs watching different channels, from the same antenna, a reality.

I suggest you define what you really 'want' to be able to do. If you really don't watch TWO tvs at the same time, but just want your Wally to be able to provide a signal to each, that's a different effort than trying to drive TWO tvs at the same time.

If you have TWO tvs, and you have TWO receivers, you can then make use of the Antenna to drive both, just not at the same time, but can easily move the signal from one receiver to the other by use of a simple a/b switch between the Antenna coax output and the two receivers.

If you have TWO tvs, and TWO receivers, and DO want to watch both TVs on different channels at the same time, then you could also just get ANOTHER Tailgater4 antenna - there's actually no law saying you CAN'T!!

The more you make use of a portable Antenna, the more you travel, and the more 'situation' you find yourself in, the more you'll start to realize how to 'customize' your antenna and your receiver(s) for your comfort and enjoyment.
