One receiver, 3 tv's

[rccks96]

I searched for half an hour, couldn't find anything.

I recently got a tv tuner card for my computer. I want to connect my receiver to the card so I can watch tv on the computer. The tv the receiver was connected to and the computer are on different levels of the house, so, right now, i have the satellite going into the house to the receiver, then to a splitter, then one line goes to the computer, the other goes down to my basement to the tv. When i split the signal after the receiver, I lost some quality on the tv. Would an amplifier work in this situation? Also, where would I put the amplifier?

TIA.

Edit - I also have the signal split to go to another tv (that already has a receiver) so I can use pip. So the signal is split into 3 after the receiver.

No one knows if putting an amplifier after the dish receiver will help the signal?

i have an installer that has done that one a very long run on the #2 output on a 322, and he said it helped a little bit.

Yeah, the issue isn't a long run - it's pretty short. The issue is that I'm splitting the signal 3 times.
