Hi,

see diagram for example set up here

That's how we suggest doing it but obviously you could just use a 4 way passive splitter for the aerial if you think you'll get away with it. Other possible ways of doing it would be just run one cable to each room and use a combiner at the beginning of the run and another combiner in reverse at the end of the run in each room to split the sat/saorview signal apart to run to each combo.
