Due to the strong signals from the local stations, I think you should steer clear of any amps. An overloaded amp introduces signal distortion, and this will probably make all your channels worse rather than better.
The signals should already be strong enough to send signals to all your rooms.
When splitting the signal to multiple rooms, make sure that none of the end points are left open. They should either be connected into a receiver or capped with a terminator (like
this) if the port is unused. If any of the end points is left open, this can cause signals to be reflected back into the cable distribution network. These reflected signals are a form of interference that can make it harder for the receivers in other rooms to stay locked on to each channel. You can prevent this from happening by terminating any unused ports.
