Keep in mind that amplifiers can and will also amplify interference.

Decades ago I would ALWAYS install a preamp on antenna installs but back then there were very few sources of interference.

Today there are dozens of sources of potential interference in every home and dozens more outside.

It is common to add a preamp and LOSE channels instead of gain them as a result.

If to want to boost signals for running multiple TVs I recommend an adjustable gain amplifier.

That way you can avoid over amplifying by using only as much gain as needed
