Absolutely not. Assuming that you mean feeding the output of one splitter to the input of another splitter down the line, this is a bad idea. If your splitter has two output ports, then you lose 3.5 dB-3.7 dB between the input and each output in the best case. If you want to feed multiple TVs, then setup a distribution amplifier as close to the point where the antenna lead-in cable enters your home. Try to use a distribution amplifier that has as many output ports as your have TVs. Run a cable from the amplifier to each TV. If the amplifier has any excess output ports, be sure to place terminator caps on them.
