For Sky TV. i.e. run from LNB to Sky box you need high quality cable as it works in the giga Hz range.
However for the UHF signal out of the sky box the quality is not so important. Much depends on length used.
The outside TV aerial should go through a de-coupling capacitor normally built into TV socket. It should not be earthed as this would encourage lighting strikes one should not try using an aerial designed for TV as a lighting conductor.
The internal TV connection will need different plates if used without a de-coupling capacitor to allow use of Digi-eye. And yes you can use more than one I have two and they work great.
You do need to select a booster splitter with DC pass for them to work.
I could not find a plate without de-coupling capacitors in fact mine even had them on Sky part of plate and I had to get soldering iron out and remove them.
