Are you still using Comcast for internet?
There are many different types of 'cable boxes' around. Has the feed cable from Comcast been disconnected (connector unscrewed and cable left unconnected) to make way for the feed from your OTA antenna? Is there a splitter in the cable box? I am trying to be sure that you are not going to have a Comcast tech and agents from the FCC and FAA knocking on your door. The Comcast tech can't cite you or arrest you but the other two are from the government and want to 'help' you.
If you have already bought the Antennacraft, try it without any amplifier. If you connect the new antenna to one TV (no splitters or amplifiers, just a cable from the antenna directly to the TV, you'll know what channels are available. If some of those channels go away or become unreliable when you split to many sets... then an amplifier would be indicated... to overcome the losses in the cable and splitters. An amplifier will not do the antennas job, really, it won't.
