Buy a distribution amplifier like this. https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Maste.../dp/B001PI09SE

Connect the input of the distribution amp to the output jack on your antenna power supply. Then powers all your sets from the output of the distibution amp.

With a distribution amplifier, you will not have any signal loss. If a 3DB signal goes in, you will get a 3db signal on every output jack of the amp.

I use several of these in my system. I tried using standard splitters like you have first, and had huge signal loss causing pixelation. Then I started using these distribution amps and I get excellent signal strength to all 15 sets that I currently have wired in my display room. I use a powered UHF rotor antenna like you are probably using too.

The only way you can get away using those Magnavox DTV convertors is that your location is so close to the transmitter sites. Out were I am, they're barely passable. I need, either a Zenith-Insignia or a Digital Stream.
My distribution amp is a Radio Shack, four output unit, a thrift-shop special.
