What will an amplifier do? - White Rock, NM

After I cut the cable, I pulled up my TV Fool report:

Through trial and error, I built the folded-dipole antenna in the thumbnail. Don't laugh. It gives me very good results (See attached table).

My question is about the two in the middle: KUPT*

Will an amplifier bring those in?

The question stems from the trial of a cheap Chinese DVR which had a more sensitive tuner than my TV. Before I sent the DVR back, it actually got a lot more than my TV, with the same un-amplified antenna.

I'm sure I did a poor job of describing this, but any input will be greatly appreciated.
