Pre-amp AND distribution amp?

I've installed a Clearstream 2V in my attic. I took a TV up there and saw a great picture on most channels. A few more were found, but are marginal and unwatchable. The ones I get are just barely in the green on the digital converter box's signal strength "meter"... I figure probably about 70% of full potential. Roof mounting isn't gonna happen without hiring someone else to do it. It's 40' above the ground and a steep roof pitch.

I installed 100' of RG6 to the house's pre-wired junction box which probably takes RG59 from there to each room another 75' or so.

Should I get an Antennas Direct CPA19 pre-amp, install it in the attic and limit my splits in the box to a digital 4-way splitter to serve 4 TVs? OR would I need to install a distribution amp at that point?

Here's my plot:

I'd love to get all signals in the yellow section.

Thanks in advance!
