It is how the device is engineered.  Off the top of my head, I believe the noise factor on the Channel Master pre-amps is about .2 dB whereas cheaper brands maybe >1 dB.  When noise is added, the signal to noise ratio drops.  With digital TV, that can make the difference between the tuner decoding the signal or giving you a blank screen.  Since you are apparently on the edge of reception, that's why I think it is important.
