If you get a weak signal when using a splitter then you will need to put a booster on the line to sort the weak signal out, that will sort your weak signal problem

p.s. does the quality of the coaxe make a difference? i.e. non industry standard being used..the black stuff with foil under outer skin......

Yes the cable can make a big different to the signal, the cheap stuff can cause signal lose and interference if it is not shield well (the silver foil that covers the wire) and the strands of wire they use.

Many splitters have the db loss marked on them, they do vary depending on manufactur. Also many older splitters only cover a certain bandwidth, this caused some problems some years back when Sky went digital as they used a much greater bandwidth. You need a splitter that will handle at least from 400 mhz up to at least 840 mhz, for cable use. Many that can be bought for satellite use cover from the FM radio band right up to the satellite bands.

Like Gizmo1484 said the coax is a big factor, many cheap coax's not only have a high db loss per meter, but some have very limited band width as well. This will degrade signals on some of the frequencies. I personally like to stick with CT100 coax, a little more expensive than others, but a good all rounder coax, never had any signal probs since I changed over to it.
