Pre-amp AND distribution amp?

Thanks to both for your replies. I had some family issues pull me away from the forum and for some reason, I didn't get any notifications of the replies.

Teleview, I'd love to get an additional 20dB by putting it on the roof. But again, that ain't gonna happen! I will, however, position it to get metal-free paths to the station vectors I need.

GroundUrMast, I jumped the gun to get the CPA19 on sale and hooked it up. At 100' down the line, I get about 20 channels & subs that are usable... not bad! I toyed with the idea of wall mounting the antenna, but I would sacrifice about 10-15' in height to get it outside. Would you think that's a good tradeoff?

I'm inclined to add either a CM3414 (as Teleview recommended) or a Winegard equivalent if I get too much drop through the splitter and remaining 75'. I've heard CM units come from China and the quality may be hit-or-miss. Insights?

Thanks again for your help!
