Help setting up TV with Aerial Amplifier & Peripherals

2nd Post only so I hope I have this in the right room....
I have the following equipment situated in Living Room:
LCD TV – LG LG47LF7700
Virgin Media Cable Box – Samsung V SMT-2110C
DVD Player/Recorder – Philips 3440H
Wii
PS3
6 Way Aerial Amplifier – SLX 6B
Virgin Media Modem
Wireless Router – Belkin
I also have TV’s in Conservatory, Bedroom 1 (Digital TV), Bedroom 2 (Digital TV) & Bathroom linked via the Aerial Amplifier.
.
What I would like…..
I want to be able to watch Cable TV in each room (happy that I can’t change channels whilst in other rooms). I also want to be able to watch Terrestrial TV and/or Digital TV (where appropriate) in all rooms (in case Virgin Media are having one of their off days).
Likely to be caused by the way I have the wires set up. Before I bought the new TV I had no issues. Digital TV and Terrestrial channels are working fine on main LCD TV in living room. I do have cable working in each of the other rooms although Channels 1-5 have a poor reception. And where Digital TV is available I can only receive a handful of channels.
TV – Scart from ‘AV1’ to ‘EXT1’ on DVD Recorder
TV – Scart from ‘AV2’ to ‘TV’ on Cable Box
TV – Terrestrial ‘ANTENNA IN’ to Aerial on roof
TV – AV3(Red,Yellow,White) to Wii
TV – HDMI to PS3
DVD – Scart from ‘AUX I/O’ to ‘VCR’ on Cable Box
DVD – Scart from ‘EXT1’ to ‘AV1’ on TV
CABLE BOX – Scart from ‘TV’ to ‘AV2 on TV
CABLE BOX – Scart from ‘VCR’ to ‘AUX I/O’ on DVD
CABLE BOX – CoAx cable from Cable Input
CABLE BOX – CoAx cable from ‘RF OUT’ to ‘IN UHF’ on AERIAL AMPLIFIER
CABLE BOX – ‘ANT IN’ empty
VIRGIN MEDIA BOX OUTSIDE – Cable to splitter to MODEM & ‘Cable Input’ on CABLE BOX
AERIAL AMPLIFIER – Ports TV1 through to TV4 CoAX to each of other TV’s
.
Where am I going wrong? Any advice would be most grateful and stop the ear bending from the Mrs!!
