I am running two TVs with one set of rabbit ears. But, one TV gets a few more channels than the other. Would a "booster" help to get the remaining missing channels? |

Why buy a booster? As cheap as rabbit ears are get another set. |

The second TV is in the basement and the rabbit ears are on the main floor. Reception wouldn't be as good and I probably would have less channels. |

Hard to say what boosting the signal would do-so many variables. You may be losing some signal due to distance. Before spending any money, might want to try connecting current rabbit ears directly to second tv just for comparison. |

Just get yourself a distribution amp, and life will be beautiful. I've run several of these things, over the years, and one is as good as another, IMHO. You don't need to spend a lot of money.
Example: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2625064
Basically, you plug 'em in and forget 'em...
