Right now I have 2 antennas.

1st is a Wineguard MS 2002.

2nd in a Denny's EZ HD.

They each have a coax that runs about 100' into the house.

The wineguard then goes into the amplifier.
The primary function of a pre-amplifier is to boost the signal before it goes through the transmission line.

I have then ran both coax's into a 2-1 splitter.
If you mean combiner and not splitter, try using each antenna separately. You might consider temporarily replacing the splitter/combiner with an A/B switch.

From there I ran into a skywalker distribution amplifier.

From the dis. amp. I go to a four way splitter, then to my tv's.

I have purchased a channel master 7777, but have not received it yet. Will this make my reception better?
It might, but what you are really doing is making an already complicated system even more so. If you are trying to avoid switching between the antennas and the new amplifier doesn't help, you might try turning, raising or lowering one of them.
