For help with your TalkTalk TV box, channels and apps.

I have just renewed my contract & received the new TV hub. However, there is no aerial output on the new hub for my setup as I have another device (Sony HDD/DVD box) connected to the TV.
Basically aeriel in to HDD/DVD then aerial out & in to TalkTalk TV Huawei DN372T box & out of that box to Samsung Smart TV.
The TalkTalk TV box/hub is there as a backup for when the apps misbehave on the Samsung TV.
Is there any way I can use an aerial (RF) splitter to facilitate in & out on the new TalkTalk TV hub, or should I stick with the existing Huawei box?
Suggestions welcome.

A separate feed is required to each device.
Aerial splitters can be bought from most supermarkets quite cheaply as can additional coaxial leads.
They can also be purchased from local markets electrical stalls, where you are more likely to get some advice.
You can also use your existing box alongside the new hub if you have enough HDMI inputs to your TV (or you can expand these by purchasing an HDMI hub).
If you are only using the Hub as a back up for Apps, you could consider returning this and removing the TV charge from your account and consider something like a roku or Amazon firestick.
You shouldn't be asked to return your old YouView box, and this will continue to work without paying the monthly charge.
