A well intentioned rant

TV reception and drinking water are a little bit alike. With drinking water, you need a clean source. That's true of TV reception too. TV signals can be mixed with noise and interfering signals, just like mud and pollution can foul water. Drinking water can be pumped through pipes. TV signals can be amplified so they can be sent through cable and splitters. A big high pressure pump can't make clean water at the bottom of a muddy empty hole and an amplifier can't make a clean noise free signal with the output of an antenna that is too small or blocked by trees hills or buildings.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
