Why not install a masthead amplifier, Dan?

While I am not familiar with the US situation, I do live in a fringe 
reception area south of Sydney in Australia. A decent antenna coupled 
with a quality MH amp fixed my signal troubles. I am splitting into 
three tuners.

MH amps are relatively easy to install. generally the existing coax 
cable can be utilised. Although with digital signals make sure the gain 
can be adjusted. All too often too much gain will give too much noise.
