To avoid the need for a distribution amplifier, use only one splitter. Choose a splitter that has exactly the number of output ports needed if possible, or minimum unused ports. For example, if you have four sets connected, a single 4-way splitter would be ideal. If you have six sets connected, finding a 6-way splitter may be almost impossible so an 8-way splitter would be the best choice and the two unused ports would need to be terminated with 75 ohm resistor caps.
