Don't forget, always put the booster at the beginning, where the signal comes in. A lousy signal boosted will still be a lousy signal. It seems very obvious but I've seen it happen.

I need to split my cable 5 ways (internet, digital cable, analogue TV, 2 analogue tuner cards in the PC) so would this be the way to go? I can't read what the db level is on the outputs though. Anyone know what they are for this splitter?

I guess the loss would be about 10-12 db. with 2 4-way-splitters (in series) you would have a loss of ~16 db.
You could try it out first and if necessary install a booster. Be careful though, some boosters have 2 outlets, so you could use 2 3-way splitters. Some boosters can be adjusted (the level). Edit: I just saw you have internet through cable as well. I guess there already is a splitter installed for that. I would leave that alone and install your splitter behind that one, so a 4-way splitter.
