It all depends upon the overall length of the coax cable and the construction of the cable itself. If we're talking a 50 foot cable, the lost is significant. If we're talking 100 feet, the loss is probably as much as you're gaining with the amplifier.
It sounds like your antenna is receiving enough signal, but it is being attenuated due to the cable itself. That's why your in-line amplifier is actually doing the job. It is taking the signal at the antenna and boosting it BEFORE it is attenuated in the coax. Since both signal and noise are attenuated in the coax, the result is a clean signal to the antenna terminals of your tuner.
Weather permitting, of course!
