I have no idea, but here are some of the random thoughts that popped up.
I was under the impression that when you access the internet with cable, you can't split it. I mean, the cable for the internet and the cable for the television are two seperate lines and the cable for the internet can't be split. At least, that's what the cable installer told a friend of mine when she signed up to justify running two bits of cable to her house.
Also, I'm under the impression that digital cable (I don't know if that's what you have, but I thought I'd add it) has to be split after the box. For instance, right now, I've got crappy Cox cable. The non-digital channels work fine no matter where I split the line, but the high dollar digital channels won't work on all the televisions unless I split the line after it runs through the box on top of the tv.
A signal booster only helps reception if you've already split a number of times. I have one line that runs to the house right now and I've split it to four televisions. Now as I was doing this, I noticed a discernable difference in picture quality as I continued to split it, but it was gradual. A booster did fix that. You said, however, there's no picture at all, which leads me to believe that a booster isn't going to solve the problem.
