Can I have the best of both worlds, F-Type connection and wireless?

Hey Guys, so in my home... against a display shelf/wall. I have many vintage tvs. I've managed to wire many of them to a bunch of bonder tongue mini agile modulators.

So here's my set-up..

1. Six agile modulators all go into a combiner.
2. The combiner then outputs to a 10-way splitter.
3. From here, we f-type coaxial directly to various tvs. These tvs receive perfect reception. This allows me to change to six channels all with different shows.
4. One of the output on this splitter is connected to an antenna for tvs that cannot get a direct connection.

I realize with this set-up the antenna as a transmitter is TERRIBLE. I found out that for the antenna to work its best as a transmitter, it needs to be connected to the agile modulator directly. But then there would only be one source airing wirelessly. I also connected the antenna to the output of the combiner to see if that would improve, and if it did, then I would remove the splitter and just have all tvs go wireless. However, even when putting antenna at the combiner, it was no good. Nothing I did compared to connecting the antenna directly to a modulator.

Is this limitation a fact of life for this hobby, or is it because I'm a newbie and don't know of better methods? If there is a way for me to get the best of both worlds. Please school me. Thank you for your time.
