You can still use a splitter as the feed is for both internet and TV , don't get confused in what i said as most engineers plug the FM side now as it is not used anymore. The cable feed carries both feeds , so using a splitter would be OK mate

sorry but you are wrong about the isolator from ebay look at the picture and you can see the frequency range on both ports is 80 - 1000 mhz which seem a bit extream for fm. i have installed many of these and although you are right that they used to use the isolators with an fm output they stopped this practice quiet a while ago but did start using dual isolators for a neeter job for i.e having 2 isolated outputs in the same room. virmin stopped useing the first model 2 way isolator as it didnt isolate the 2 ports from each other just the network. this must be the new model. i did hear there was a new version that solved the problem but i left before they started useing it.
