I live in a small apartment and would like to use a single indoor HDTV antenna for both my TV's.
My indoor Antenna is amplified - it's a Terk HDTVa. Which one of these would work best?
Thanks in advance
Any of them provided you have enough signal.

The top right is a splitter. The other two are taps.
It's written right on them what they do.
You won't get to watch above channel 63ish with it because it cuts off above that frequency. The others aren't any better really.
The splitter is more correct for what you want to do, unless you want one tv to have a good picture and the other to have a shitty picture.
Depending how hot your amplifier is it probably doesn't matter. If it's a shitty little amp for one tv, then maybe not, but if it's a whole home, it's blowing out a plenty strong signal I'm sure.
Anytime you split a signal it reduces in power. A 2 way split really isn't much. A tap is a lot because it heavily biases the signal drop to the 'tapped' port.-- Forget it, it's too complicated to tell you. Use the splitter.
