Wow, your initial post explaining your situation and findings
is detailed and technically quite knowledgeable!!!!!!!!
Generally, Dish and Directv do not use any amplification as
their equipment makes it unnecessary. I believe they have
amplifiers within their receivers. Tuners between
brands and models of televisions can vary quite a bit. Also,
the distance of your cable runs to each TV may be quite
different. The longer the cable, the worse the signal, generally.
Yes, you probably do need some amplification. I would also
advise a different antenna. The Clearstream 2max is a good
antenna but not enough in your circumstances. OTA fan's
recommendations are sound in your situation. You might also
consider the Winegard 7694P. It should be enough to capture
all your major and most minor stations reliably.
