If you have reliable reception with just: an antenna > short coax (50' or less) > TV, and then add the loss of a splitter and more cable, you may find that the reception becomes unreliable. If that happens, a preamplifier or distribution amplifier may help, by overcoming the loss caused by the splitter and longer cable.
