Just a newbee question: I just installed a roof mounted VHF/UHF
FM TV antenna and was wondering if if I could hook up my scanner
to this antenna through a 75ohm splitter? Are there any issues doing
this good or bad?

BAD, TV antenna are NOT Good for scanner
you want an antenna who can get from 0-1000Mhz (or even 2.4Ghz?)
TV antenna does not cover that.. its tuned for TV frequency
and have alot of skip in the spectre, you would have better result with the rubber duck antenna that come with your scanner then the TV one
..also its horizontal... you want a vertical one
some frequency could work .. but really not recommended
also make sure you use high quality low loss cable
splitter is REALLY BAD
