The HBU-33 should be able to recover enough signal to drive one set though 100' of RG-6... All the way down to WIRE-CD real channel 40 on your TV Fool Report.

An amplifier is not indicated.

I would do a thorough inspection, substitute a known good balun, add an FM trap and reconsider the mounting location and height... All before considering the amplifier option.
