Yeah, you can just use brute force and amplify the heck out of the signal. Five years ago I fixed NEW HOUSE that had three floors of RG-59, with each floor wired in a six-outlet daisy chain! Just amplified the signal about 30 db, then used directional line taps at every outlet. We had so much amplification that we did not need to worry about tilt.

Outboard tilt compensators work pretty well, and even better if you can measure the signal loss and figure out how much compensation you need. Pico/Macom and others make them. If you use an outboard compensator, your amp choices will not be limited.

Tilt compensators attenuate lower frequencies so they match the levels of the upper frequencies, which are attenuated in the cable, better. The tilt compensator should go after the amp, not before it, for lowest noise.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
