I remember reading in some of the documentation, that yes it is one
price for 1 outlet, and another for multi outlet up to 4.  If you want
more than 4 you have to pay a one time fee for an amplifier as far as I
recall to boost the signal to allow splitting it more (I think up to 8
outlets).  Of course when I had cable installed they installed a 4 way
splitter, and it made the digital cable box fail to tune a lot of
channels.  Problem disappeared when I removed the splitter and ran the
cable to a single outlet with the cable box.  Apparently the wiring in
the house is just too crappy, so I added my own signal amplifier before
the 4 way splitter and it solved the problem.

Replacing the cable in the house with better quality might be a better
plan, but I don't want to mess with that myself and don't want to pay
for it either. :)
