Plus some added noise, hum and third-order products from the amplifier. Better 
to try to get the signal up by re-aiming the antenna, or getting it higher up.

Just as a point of reference, the FCC spec. for the minimum signal to the TV 
set is 0dbmv., though most sets are happier with something closer to 10dbmv. 
Much above that and you start to get problems from frontend overload.
