Good news! I just realized something... since my wired pictures are fine, I did not need to put the boost between splitter and combiner, which was causing this cross-modulation even with the wired picture.
I just tried placing the boost between the antenna and one of the outputs on the splitter. But doing this, the boost needed to be used backwards by using a f-type coupler. Wireless reception is much better now with some ghost bars, depending on channel, it can go up and down or left and right, but the picture is clear. And this time, the wired tvs are not effected, they are still crystal clear.
I'm still going to buy some of those blonder tongue amps, just to see how all this looks with better equipment.
