A splitter does exactly what it suggests - it splits the signal and also splits the energy available to each receiver. As each receiver sees only half the signal, they will also see more noise on the line as the receiver boosts the signal level. More noise means more disturbance to the picture. You may benefit by using an active splitter (one that uses a power supply) but these also have a tendency to increase the noise level as well. If the source is an ariel, you might do better to replace it with a larger or more directional model that will deliver a stronger signal to the splitter.

Do you lose signal strength with a four way splitter for antenna signal?

Yes, using a four-way splitter for an antenna signal will result in a reduction of signal strength. Each output on the splitter will receive a weaker signal compared to the original input signal. However, the amount of signal loss will depend on the quality of the splitter and the length of the coaxial cables connecting to the outputs.
