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).


Fit f plugs. If they are loose on the existing cables put a turn of tape
over the outer sheath and under the folded-back braid.
Try a four way 'f' splitter. If this degrades the reception put a 12dB
amp in front of the splitter. Or use a one-in four out amp, if you want
to spend a bit more.
New cable should be CT100 type.
