It is really the antenna that determines performance on weak signals.

You need enough signal from the antenna to operate just one TV down
inside the house.

A booster amplifier can compensate for splitting the antenna signal
cable run into extra cable runs to more locations - as in more TV's
than just the one.


Although the signal does need to be of adequate quality. If you can
not get a decent picture on a single TV located at the antenna, no
amount of amplification will help.
