Removing sky box

[Chris+r+d]

Hi I have had to stop my sky subscription but when I tried to remove the sky plus hd box I lost the signal to all the other tvs around the house I did link the cables together via a 3way splitter the tv above the box works fine but nothing works on any of the other tvs around the house so to explain the system I have the cable from the Ariel feed into the inlet on the sky bow another cable feed up to the tv just above the sky box the other outlet cable I think it's rv2 feed from back of the sky box to a wall socket from there it goes up to the loft and into a splitter that feeds all the other tvs (4) around the house so I was thinking dose the sky box outlet act as a booster because as soon as I put the cables back onto the sky box all the TVs work fine? 
any suggestions apart for throwing the hole lot out the window will be very appreciated

thanks

@Chris+r+d yes, the Sky box's RF outputs are slightly amplified. You might need to replace your Sky box with an RF (aerial) booster.

@Chris+r+d Or just leave the Sky+ Box in place. It will still work for the free to air channels (not for recording though)

Thanks for your replies 

unfortunately the sky box doesn't work on the rf 2 outlet that's the reason I stop having sky as someone who was with sky from the beginning but as I got older and retired I couldn't afford the full package so bit bye bit I had to cut it back then the box went on the blink so I did some investigating on why I was not able to get any channels to the kitchen and bedrooms with the help of a company that requires skyboxes it was going to cost too much for me and sky also as usual decided to put the prices up I took the decided to stop sky so that was the reason I wanted to remove the sky box and then maybe when I can afford it I will get a recorder box.

anyway thanks again to everyone for all your help 

hope you all have a great Christmas. this 80 year old will 
all the best
