Those translators take the program source (from over-the-air digital or a feed via satellite) and rebroadcast using good old analog NTSC. I bet the neighbor is seeing the translators, and you should, too. Based on the TVFool report, with a moderately sized UHF antenna (either with a couple bow-tie elements in front of a screen or seven or so horizontal elements with a V made of additional horizontal elements behind them), you should get a clear picture without a booster. Be sure that the connectors on the cable aren't loose and the connector to the antenna (the balun) that has the pigtail with two connections isn't damaged somehow.
