Default One for Bill? TV Coax splitter

Currently the loft has a 1 in /2 out splitter with coax connections for
freeview TVs.

I now have inherited two additional TVs which I would like to connect up
to the aerial. I would like to replace the current 1 to 2 with a 1 to 4
but all the ones I can find seem to use f-connectors which would mean the
hassle of changing all the connectors and I can't be bothered to do that
as I have plenty of coax connectors but no f-connectors.

So the question is are there any 1 to 4 (or more) splitters that use only
coax for both in and out. A supplementary is what coax cable would you
recommend for the additional wiring - it will all run inside as its going
into bedrooms.

Any links to recommendaed products would be appreciated (and if they are
Amazon Prime even better as I'm currently on a free trial).

Thanks Bill (or anyone else who helps).


Twist on F plugs available cheaply from many Ebay sellers are easy to fit

I've only seen 2 way splitters with TV Coax plugs all the rest seem to
be F plug splitters in screened cans. A 4 way splitter will add around
another 3dB of attenuation on all outputs so if you already have a weak
signal from your aerial this could push your reception over the edge.
Perhaps consider changing the splitter for a 4 way amp such as

Not necessarily from that supplier (and may/will require an additional
power supply)
