It would have been nice if the 1byone® Amplified Outdoor Antenna had worked for a test. It might have given you a clue about reception.

Once the cable enters the home, it then goes to a splitter for the two televisions.

Does this change your thoughts on which antenna I should be looking at? Is it better to buy one built in, or on its own?

The type of antenna that you bought is a low gain antenna with poor performance coupled with an amplifier that tries to make up for its shortcomings. The problems is, if a good signal isn't coming out of the antenna proper, an amp can't create one: GIGO.
I prefer to use an antenna that has more gain, and add an amplifier if needed.
