Always good advise.

...even though you use a pre-amp go buy one of those $25 - $30 dollar 18 dB amps in the Walmart/Costco/KMart TV accessory department and amp before you split...

Bad advise more than 90% of the time. Rule of thumb: One amp can be too many, two amps are too many. The 19dB of gain (UHF) provided by the existing 8700 is more than needed. Adding a second amplifier will introduce more noise and the second amplifier will almost certainly be driven to overload by the high output of the existing amplifier. The predicted result, all signals will be degraded, likely to the point of being unwatchable.
