The monster might help if it has a lower signal loss than your current
splitter (which it does). I'm concerned however that you might pay alot
of money for something that will deliver marginal improvement to your
signal. If you get it, make sure it's from somewhere that you can
return it with no restocking fee or shipping charges.
A distribution amp allows you to split the signal with no signal loss,
which is in my opinion preferable.
