TowerGuy is right, the signal levels shown on your report are strong. Here is a relatively simple test for basic antenna performance and determining if an amplifier is needed, http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=13646. But in your case, simply focus on getting the antenna aimed well, and be willing to try outdoor mounting before adding the trouble an amplifier is likely to cause when facing such strong signals.

Loss occurs in the splitter and cabling. The loss is not expected to change when a tuner is turned on or off.
