The ChannelMaster CM2020 has a gain of 7.5 dB VHF and 10 dB UHF. With Fox at 69.6 dB you should pull it in easily, assuming your attic is not wrapped in metal or concrete.

You probably don't need the distribution amp. The first thing I'd try is simply to bypass it to one television and see what happens (use a female-to-female coax adapter for this, or run a fresh length of coax from the antenna directly to one tv). Or replace it with a non-amplified splitter if you have one or can borrow one. It's possible amplifying the signal is overloading the tv tuner. [Note that unplugging an amp doesn't just stop the amplification - it also stops almost all of the signal so unplugging the amp from it's power source is not an option.]
