An indoor antenna may give satisfactory reception, depending on the construction of your house. The best indoor antenna would be a set of VHF rabbit ears and a UHF loop WITHOUT an amplifier. The indoor antenna should go on a wall that faces NW, ideally in front of a window. The rabbit ears should be parallel to the wall. Then use as long of a cable needed to reach your TV.

Or even better get an RCA ANT751 and mount it as high as possible on your roof avoiding obstructions, point it NW (332 degrees magnetic). You should not need a preamp even driving 100’ of cable and a 4 way splitter. If you really want to get a preamp, don’t; buy a bigger antenna instead (Winegard HD7697P or Antenna Craft HBU44), the extra gain will be more valuable than a preamp would with your strong signal situation.
