How are the other 2 cables connected to the aerial?
If they are just twisted together and pushed into the aerial connection box then you need to find a better aerial installer and clean up the muck from his horse
Something like this Clicky would do the trick.
Take one lead from the aerial into the splitter and connect the other downleads to the outputs using screw on F connectors
How to connect F Connectors
Twisting together multiple coax cables can cause problems with ghosting and will drop the signal level
