P.S. I did try using a passive inline amplifier similiar to:
S-SA01 Sadoun In-Line Amplifier ( signal booster ):
I tried it before the splitter as well as after it, and on each of the runs after teh spltter. It did not have any affect at all.
I left it installed before the splitter, but again, i don't think that this particular type of product is going to work for my situation.
Thanks again.
