As ADTech has already stated, signal quality is more important than signal strength.

Improve signal quality by placing the antenna in a location that gives it access to better quality signals. (Consider: If you are trying to record someone speaking, do your get better quality with the microphone in a closet, or in the same room with the person that's speaking?)

The PA-18 is a good option for folks with no strong signals... It's not intended to serve in applications such as yours.

As an additional troubleshooting step, bypass all those splitters (use F81 couplers) to have a single coax run to TV #3 and see if that helps it any.
Agreed... a helpful test to determine if any amplification is likely to help your existing configuration. http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=13646
