Also, a bigger (multi-element) might just double the signal you are
gettting. You might do better with a higher gain amplifier. Or go for

Most TVs have plenty of gain these days.

if you have crap signal to noise the only thing that will improve it is
a bigger aerial.

Boosting **** just leads top bigger **** and/or being overloaded with ****.

A masthead amplifier can improve signal to noise ratio a little because of
cable loss. A small effect, but if the aerial is nearly good enough it can be
worthwhile.
