If you have two tuners in side by side slots (ie PCI PCIe) you can use one of these and simply plug them straight into the cards and have two splits available for other stuff.
The spacing amazingly is just right
I have used an almost identicle unit from Hills. I have also used the 2 and 3 way versions. I agree they are neat, small, and if you make your own short leads with some RG6 cable you can just bend it to the right shape, cut it to length - perfect.

Just be aware that the more you split the signal, the weaker it gets.
You will want a strong signal to split it 4 ways.
Additionally, I would stay away from that particular splitter (cheap & nasty), the hills ones are pretty good though.

I thought I would add a little picture to make it a bit clearer. You can see the splitter (whichever one you choose) just slots into the two tuner cards. No extra or short cables. You then run the antenna straight into the centre-back "IN" connector.
Very neat.
And if you have good signal strength then you can use the other two outputs.
And what is it with you guys with "strength"? If you get 100% quality with ScanBDA then all is fine. Strength can be virtually zero as long you consistantly get 100% quality. In fact fact too much can be more of a problem.

Reason: Add
To put it in perspective, I'm in a dodgy signal area in the Adelaide Hills, could never get any sort of decent analogue signal. I have a masthead amp, into a 3 way splitter.
Feed 1 - downstairs, traditional CRT TV wall mounted in the games room.
Feed 2 - theatre room and MCE 2, splits again 4 ways, 3 x TV cards and FM on the PVR150
Feed 3 - lounge and MCE 1, splits again into 2 cards
All signals are great - except for the non resplit signal to the traditional analogue CRT !! The moral of the story ... a decent masthead amp and some good cable RG6 can deliver a great result.
