Also, I wanted to ask about a low noise spliter/combiner. What does everyone recommend? I have a couple of ideas but I'm just wondering.

Splitters are passive components. They don't produce noise beyond the low level thermal noise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson...3Nyquist_noise
The gain of the preamp is going to elevate the signals well above the noise of any passive component.
Ideal brand splitters from Home Depot have served me well. Others recommend Holland brand.
A splitter with 5 to 1000 MHz of bandwidth and 3.5 dB (2-way), 7 dB (4-way), 10 dB (8-way) insertion loss is representative of the specification ideal for OTA use.
