Old system:

Cable demarc to a cable TAP
Tap output to Cable modem
Tap output to amplifier (old school structured wiring panel type 8 output dist. amp).
Amp/distribution outputs to 1 x Motorola HD DVR, 3 x Motorola SD boxes, and 3 x TVs direct connected to cable outlet. (will not work anymore since the switch to all digital)

Old system worked fine for a long long time as laid out above.

New system:

Cable demarc to cable TAP
Tap output to cable modem
Tap output to 8 way MoCA splitter
8-way splitter feeds 1 x Tivo Roamio Pro, 5 x Tivo Mini and 2 x Cable ADD boxes

Signal levels on some channels, according to the Tivo Roamio, are low. I put the existing amplifier in line between the tap and 8-way splitter. The signal was worse. I connected ROamio directly to Tap output, and got great signal. Amp will not work in between splitter and Roamio because it will not pass MoCA signals.

What is my best solution to get a stronger incoming cable signal to the Roamio without jacking with the MoCA network? I should just call the Cable company, but you know how that goes. Different amplifier between tap and splitter? MoCA compatible amp between splitter and Roamio? F it and make Cable One come deal with it?
