[OT] Aerial splitter

Hello all,

I now have three a requirement for three connections from AV equipment
to the roof aerial on my flat. (Two DVB-T cards in the media server and
the TV.)
After lots of playing around I have found the best setup for two
connections with the best signal quality is a simple y splitter plugged
into the wall socket, and the TV and one DVB-T card plugged into the two
outputs of the splitter.  Now I need the third connection, what is the
best way to go?

Using an admitedly cheap aerial booster in the past completely screwed
up the digital TV reception.  Do I simply put another Y splitter into
the line between the wall socket and the DVB card and use that to feed
the two cards? Am I better getting a proper distribution unit and if so
should it be amplified or not?  As I live in a flat I have no access to
the roof aerial or any knowledge of what aerial distribution system is
already in the building.

I've found this, http://tinyurl.com/d6mt2 at maplin,
would it be suitable?

Any help with the confusion would be great.

Simon
