My HTPC came with dual digital TV tuners (two cards).
It works fine with just one connected but if I split the leads to connect
both with a normal splitter I lose most of the stations.

I had a new antenna fitted when I switched to freeview about five years ago.
I worked fine with the Freeview box 'most of the time' - in 'bad' weather I
do sometimes get freeze frames or pixilation.
So the signal is marginal and your resistive splitter is probaly halving what is
available.
I suggest you ask in:-
uk.tech.digital-tv
But before you do - you will need to say which town you are in and which
transmitter you use. I would also suggest stating if you had new aerial coax
fitted and what type of aerial (18 element? wideband?) and its location on your
house/flat.
My guess is that amplification will not be a real cure unless (possibly) on the
mast.
