You should have an outside jack for cable that feeds both TVs. If it is only feeding one, my guess is that one of the co-ax fittings is not correctly connected. As you mentioned, the amplifier needs to be turned OFF for the cable to work.
Since you have the main TV working, I would carefully check the splitter that is part of your amplifier box package, to be sure the bedroom jack is connected.
If your unit is similar to my 2013, when facing the outside jacks, the one closer to the front is cable. Once inside, my amplifier is behind the bedroom TV. It contains the splitter that feeds from there to the Living room set, and the storage/basement ceiling on the entrance side. This is great for the outdoor nights, when you want to sit outside, but still watch TV.
If you have a friend who is a telephone installer or an electrician. They can probably "Tone it out" for you in 5 minutes or less.
Goods Luck,
