Building an even splitter is no big deal for 50 ohms.  I have cranked out 
hundreds over the years.  Use a Wilkinson design.  FOr two way its two pieces 
of 75 ohm coax, cut to 1/4 wave with velocity factor, like rg-179 and a 100 ohm 
resistor across the split ports.  You even get a little isolation for all your 
work.  Bandwidth is fair, isolation is better than you would expect and ease of 
construction is no big deal.  There are web pages describing their construction 
and basics  all over the web, like on Microwaves101.com.  Heck, I built them 
for years without even understanding how they work and all of mine did ok. 

Or, I can build you one for 30 bucks, includeds the priority mail rate right 
now, shipped

I have built this design from 44 mHz (got kind of big!) to 1500 mHz.  My best 
experience is in the less than one foot of cable class.  As you pass 800 mHz 
the parasitics start to get you.  Had excellent luck at 100 mHz a few years ago 
too.  that one carried almost 50 watts at its sum port.

My point is, there is no excuse for using a TV splitter anymore!  Get in touch 
direct if you need help with this.
