Splitting DVB-T Signal Around The House

I've recently set up a new TV3 aerial for the Saorview digital channels and
I have connected the TV3 aerial wire to the 3 TV point cables that are that
are all grouped together in the attic.

So far, everything seems to work great, the saorview channels all work at
each TV point, but I was wondering was there any problem with doing it
that way.
Is there a limit to splitting the signal around like this?
Or are there any downsides to joining all the cables together like that?

Like what, with a splitter?

Passive TV Splitters - http://www.tvtrade.ie/tv-distribution/tv-splitters/passive-tv-splitters.html (follow the links for advantages and disadvantages)

If the signal was weak you'd require one of these - http://www.tvtrade.ie/tv-distribution/tv-distribution-amplifiers.html

No, just directly connected atm, cables stripped and connected with an electrical connector.

Thanks The Cush, I guess a 3 way passive splitter would be a better, and an pretty inexpensive, way of doing it.
