A switch is going to introduce loss too.  And a switch doesn't do the
same thing as a splitter.  A splitter divides the signal and distributes
it to several lines.  A switch routes it to one of several lines.  So
you should get less, but not zero, loss with a switch.

If you're talking about a conventional television or cable television
signal, booster amplifiers are available for less than $ 15.  I used
one before a splitter with 7 db loss and a 100' coax attached, and the
results are very nice.
