How can I split a video signal coming from a MacBook?

I have a MacBook spitting out video via the Thunderbolt/Mini-Display Adapter port. We usually use another adapter to turn that from Mini-Display -> HDMI so we can run it to a TV.
We'd now like to split the signal to three TVs, all showing the same video signal. Doable?

Just like that. What's the easiest way to do this presuming that all the TVs have HDMI and/or Component out. Basically: How do I split a video signal reliably?

Best answer: This cable and something like this splitter.

Perfectly do-able, but as others point out you'll need some extra hardware to do it. Very affordable though!
As mullingitover suggests, I'd also recommend having the thunderbolt/mini-display port connector and the adaptor to HDMI bundled in one cable. The fewer adapters/connections you have from output to input, the more likely you are to succeed.
