Tv reception not good, vertical lines, ghosts

I have several TVs hooked up to cable with a collection of splitters and boosters but need some help in debugging a couple of problems.
1. Ihave ghosting on several TVs, very pronounced double images.
2. I have a vertical line about three inches wide, almost centered, a little to the left on several TVs. It is Opaque.
3. On my HDTV viewing the HD channels the picture breaksup into little squares and the images halt temporarily.
Would appreciate any advice as to the cause of these problems.

Zookre's ans. sounds like a good one. Each time you add a splitter you reduce the signal.

Thanks for the comments but I

Thanks for the comments but I have two boosters on my splitters. One is 3DB and the other is adjustable. I can turn up the adjustable one until the picture disapears. If I remove all the splitters and use just the input line the picture is improved but not fixed. The problem is worse at night.
