This suggests to me that your problem might not be with signal levels, and indeed the signal amplifier might be making things worse rather than better. Is there a conflict between the RF channel number used for the NTL output from the STB, and the channel numbers of your local terrestrial TV services, either analogue or digital Freeview? If so, you need to change the output channel number of the NTL STB. For the Samsung, you:
a. Press TV and hold, then ...
b. Press OK and hold, then ...
c. Press RIGHT ">", then ...
d. Release all three buttons.
The STB display will then show rfxx where xx is the output channel number. Adjust this with the UP and DOWN keys to a value which is well clear of any of your local analogue or digital channel numbers (say, at least 3 channel numbers away from any of them). Please note that, even though your TV might not be able to decode digital Freeview channels, those Freeview channels can interfere with the analogue output from the NTL STB. When you have set a suitable channel number, then repeat the above key sequence to revert to normal display. Then retune your TV2 to pick up the new NTL channel number.
