I have a ClearStream2 antenna about 14ft off the ground with roughly 25ft of RG6 running into my house. From there I have it connect to an amplified distribution splitter. There is supposed to be 8db per output.

One lead has about a 25ft run to a bedroom, one runs about 40ft to an office, and one runs about 70ft to my living room. The run to the living room has an additional 12db amp inline as well.
Sometimes I can get a good signal of about 79-80% for all of my channels (the ones in green in the attached picture). Other times I lose a channel competely. The Fox channel WLUK is a common one I lose.
I was thinking that I needed a preamp but if I am not getting the signal to start out with, that won't do any good. According to the attached picture from this site, I should be able to get these stations in which an indoor antenna easily. What am I doing wrong? I want to be able to get a consistant signal that I won't have to mess with everyday to achieve.
Thanks for your help.
