Tuners and Antennas

I think I know the answer to this, but I'll ask ask anyway.
I bought a Fanfare FM antenna, and it has greatly improved my tuner's reception. Can I hook a second tuner into it by running the two cables into a splitter that runs to that antenna, without sacrificing anything? I've positioned the antenna in the attic. What kind of effect, if any, may the electric wiring that runs through the attic have upon reception?

I tried this once and have come to the conclusion that it is not the way to go. The signal was severely compromised, and the result was not enjoyable.

I ended up buying two identical MD ST-2's and running one to each tuner. It is WELL worth the extra $100.

Sugar is right-on about the coax, too. Definately use high quality RG-6.
