recommendations for digital aerial splitter please

We have far too many TVs, I'll admit it now.
During the house re-furb, we put in 9 aerial points, and then realised that it's tricky to get splitters (ie the box that sits in the roof) that are more than 6-way, 8-way if you're lucky.
We've tried running a splitter off of a splitter (6-way off of 6-way, not amplified as this has to be powered I think?), but the loss of signal is just too great. Does anyone have a recommendation for a 9-way aerial splitter please ?
ETA: also, do you think that a 3-way off of a 6-way would lead to less signal loss than a 6 off of a 6 ?

Quick Google bought up this, no point in splitting when you can buy a 10-way box for not a lot of money:

No worries, it should sort you out. I have used the StarBox before. They are very good. Just note that you need 'F' connectors on all your aerial connections so need to order these as well unless yours are already 'F'.0
