Do they work? I have a roof top antennae, which does OK, but a stronger signal would be nice.

I can't speak to the models listed there, but I have a Channel Master CM-7778 mounted on the mast with my roof top antenna. One day I had almost no reception, usually I get about 40 channels. I thought something was wrong with the antenna until I realized that the amp had come unplugged. I plugged it back in and all my channels were coming in nice and clear. That experience emphasized to me how important an amp can be.
Yes, they do. How much gain you need depends on many factors such as where you're located, elevation, antenna location, type & height, distance to broadcast towers, type of coax used, etc.
Yeah they work, you're supposed to put them on the mast near the antenna so that you're amplifying the signal and not a lot of noise. That's where mine is and it works OK.
Google Denny's TV in Michigan. Lots of good info there!
You need an acceptable signal (good signal/noise ratio) at your antenna as the amplifier is just going to amplify what is at the antenna head.
The amplifier works best for those with long co-ax runs through the house.
The amplifier will make up for signal loss due to those long runs & splitters etc.

Do you get any channels beyond the following: 6.1, 6.2. 8.1, 8.2, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 13.1, 13.2, 23, 26.1,26.2, 26.3, 26.4, 35.1, 35.2, 35.3 51.1 and 51.2?

What rooftop antenna do you have?
Most markets in this area (Detroit, Cleveland etc) still have stations using VHF-HI frequencies.
I am using an Antennacraft HBU-33 and LNA-200 amplifier.

Ive used the cheap RCA silver boxes with decent success to send a cable signal about 75 yards away, and it worked ok. However I have used them in other situations where it didnt do much or made the signal worse.
I know someone who uses a RCA ANT751 antenna in the attic, and a PCT-MA2-8P splitter/amp with pretty good results for long runs of coax.

Yes it does help. I have one TV that is over the air only. Connected is an ancient boosted rabbit ears antenna. With it turned off I get little to nothing. With it turned on I get up 14 channels but most are in Spanish. They are come in reasonably well and clearly. There is indeed a positive difference.
