Smile Help with reception loss with splitter (Antennae Direct DB4e)

My TVFool Report:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...b97d59f373632b

I have purchased and attic mounted an Antennae Direct DB4e. I have two tvs. When did initial testing, cable direct from antennae to one tv, signal strengths for Toronto stns @ 98%, Buffalo WNED Ch 43 (PBS) and WUTV Ch 14 (Fox) area 55% - all very clear and would be happy with this reception.

Problem occurred when then set up with 2 way splitter to view on both tvs. Toronto stns maintained 98% strength yet WNED Ch 43 (PBS) and WUTV Ch 14 (Fox) dropped to approx. 25% and I lost reception.

I'm looking at the following amplifier ....if that's a solve:
CHANNEL MASTER 2-PORT ULTRA MINI 2 DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER

Question - am I on the right track? Any other suggestions re: recovering the Buffalo stns?
Thanks
