    I have 3+ sets running from one roof aerial, with only the use of splitters and fairly long cables to connect them all. Faultless pictures on Freeview.

    Fine if it works but how far are you from your TV transmitter? Some people can see them out of their window and for others it could be over 30 miles away! As most people can't measure signal strength, it's a case of try it and see but the money paid out for the splitter may well be wasted. It is normal when distributing TV signals around the house to use a distribution amplifier to ensure a good noise free signal.

    As this is a moneysaving site I've suggested the cheapest workable option.
    The OP will know whether he gets a good picture from the main aerial.
