Rule of thumb, don't use more than one amplifier. You have good to excellent signal levels to begin with so one or the other of those amplifiers will overcome the loss of the splitter. I would try with out an amp, just to see if I could save the money.

I have several HD Homerun tuners, all are the dual tuner model and are in fact two independent HD tuners sharing a case. Each tuner input uses a splitter port.
Thank you for answering all my Q's and being so patient. You said each tuner uses a splitter port, so you split right there at the tuner? Meaning you have a little two way passive splitter right there at your tuner. Coupled with two tiny cat6 cables? I just wanna do it the right way the first time sorry if these questions seem redundant.

In your pdf file you have 4 antennas and 4 wires running into the 4 ports of the tuners. In my setup I have one antenna with 1 wire, so I just wanna make sure I should split in a central location so the runs are all about equal...?I think im just gonna go with a 4 way splitter and just split to the 2 tvs and not worry about the one furthest away. That tv will just have access to recorded shows.
