Upgrading from a 2-bay to a 4-bay might help, but, as TG suggested, you have excessive distribution losses that need to addressed at the same time. Using an 8-way splitter when you should be using a 2-way splitter is a waste of 7-8 dB of signal power. Fixing that problem might be enough to solve the issues. being on the wrong side of the hills from the UHF towers doesn't make things any easier, either. A stronger (higher gain) UHF antenna might be called for.
I"m using a amplified splitter which provided 4 dB gain into each output. I thought that by using an amplified splitter, I was improving the signal?
Do i need to get a pre-amp for UHF?
