It's probably a power-inserter, not an amplifier. The amplifier is usually built into the antenna itself. It should be ok, I think. You have two separate cables and no diplexers, right?

Yes, two seperate lines.

Then yes, you need a power inserter and VOOM, according to some reports, doesn't ship the power inserter with Winegard II, so you either need to buy a power supply (e.g. PS-9370) from Winegard's reseller, or use some third-party power supply/inserter, like the one you have. If I am not mistaken, the one you have has slightly higher voltage than Winegard's standard 18 volts, but I don't think this is a problem for Winegard II, as it has a built-in a voltage regulator.
