There are usually two ways of amplifying a tv signal. Either you have a amp
close to the tv set. The best way though is to get a amp that has one part 
down at the tv set and one up at the antenna. The tv-set part sends power
through the 
cable up to the amp. This way it it a amplified signal that is transmitted
down to the tv-set. Because the signal is stronger it doesnt get "corrupted"
by other signals as easy.
