Amplifiers can increase signal strength but will not correct other impairments. That said, the PCT 8 Port DA handles fairly high input levels.

If you don't see an increase in signal quality, you will need to continue searching for a better antenna location or a higher gain antenna.

You're fine, locally generated IF from a satellite LNB needs the extra shielding, OTA signals do not.
