How many TV’s can be set up on this antenna? null

Depends. If the signals in your area are strong, and if quality splitters are used and all TV inputs are reasonably sensitive, you could put ten TV's or more on the antenna. Some TV's have a signal metering function built in to help you. If so, you can look at each channel to see how many bars you get each. Then the best practical answer is to look at one TV signal metering function to get a base idea. If it's good, then buy some splitters and see how the divided signal fairs with more TV's attached. Think of it as like dividing a water hose to more and more sprinklers and losing a little oomph with too many. Splitters usually come in a choice of 2, 3 or 4 terminals. It is best to split, in combination, to the exact number of TV's you plan to use since unused connections actually degrade the signal balance, almost like a hose leak. If the are any splitter terminals left over, you should be able to buy 75 ohm 'terminal' caps to screw on the few unused splitter terminals to correct this. If any signal line gets weak, it can be boosted, either on the input to any TV, or before any splitter, right off the main antenna lead. The splitters aren't too expensive and boosters are just a bit more. Still, these parts plus extra lead wires can exceed the antenna cost, if you need quite a few.

If the original raw signals from an antenna are good on one TV, you theoretically can keep splitting it and amplifying the splitting losses indefinitely. With many, many boosters (amplifiers), the signal eventually gets noisier from the imperfect amplifier electronics. But luckily, with digital it either works or it doesn't, where older TV's got snowy pictures from the noisy hash. If a signal is strong, digital TV's are good at locking in, always with a great picture. You should also realize that signals vary by each channel, so you need to amplify for the weakest channel. The amplifiers cost only a little more than the splitters.

This antenna has a single coaxial connection.

Just one. This is not an amplified antenna. You can plug more TVs with a signal splitter, but the signal will drop significantly.

You can connect multiple TV's to this antennae. It would require additional components; such as a coaxial splitter. The antennae itself only has 1 standard coaxial output port. This is the best receiving antennae I have purchased.
