Default Why would an FM signal amplifier make some signals disappear?

The amplifier in question is a Radio Shack 15-321. It's a two-in-one unit,
with two pieces. One goes on the antenna and has an adjustable amplification
level that is set via a potentiometer on the indoor unit. The other is
internal to the indoor unit and offers a fixed boost that can be turned on
or off. Power is supplied to both through the indoor unit.

(Read the 2nd product review)

40dB of gain from VHF to UHF TV bands (54 to 700Mhz)? That's a bit
much. Oh, the box says 33dB. A bit better, but still too much gain.
