Problems with splitting

My Report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...ec12d6ee8a50fe

I have a RCA ANT806 installed in the attic. When I connect just one tv to it all is good and I get all the channels I want: 2,5,11,17,36,46,69

However I am wanting to connect it to another TV now and eventually a third.

The RCA ANT806 comes with some sort of amplifier that the directions say is supposed to go into the back of the TV. (I don't know much about any of this.)

What I have tried to do is just run the antenna to a splitter and then from the splitter to two tvs. That didn't work at all. Then I put the amplifier that came with the antenna in front of the splitter and that kinda worked but most channels were choppy or not functional.

I have also tried the amp directly into the back of my tv after splitting it in the attic, that just didn't work at all.

The antenna is just about in the center of both the TVs and the cable runs are no more than 30 feet. The third TV that I have not tried because I cant get the two to work is about a 100foot run.

So what do I need to do to get the signal properly split? I am thinking I need some sort of proper amplifier.

Thanks and let me know if you need any more information.
