A good preamp may help, especially if you have a long run of coax between the antenna and the tuner. The RCA TVPRAMP1R has been impressively reviewed: http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=13530

The Winegard LNA-200 is also worth considering. (edit - 7/2014: The LNA-200 lacks adequate internal shielding. As a result it is sustainable to signal intrusion, a form of interference. I can no longer recommend it.)

The goal of any amplifier is to overcome loss in cable and splitters connected on the output side of the amplifier... While adding as little additional noise as possible.
