Digital doesn't need a lot of signal strength. As long as it's strong enough to get a lock on the signal without dropouts, a stronger signal won't make the picture look any better. Now, if some of the channels start to freeze or go away at certain times of the day, you may need a bit of amplification. But amplifying it in your apt. will also amplify any noise or interference the building cable picks up, and may not help at all, or make it worse.
