Unfortunately you are out of range for 24/7 reliable reception of the Detroit & Ft. Wayne TV stations, regardless of which pre-amp you use. The 8275 is OK to use for your TV reception if you do in fact need it to provide enough signal for multiple splits .
The good news is that you ARE within range of MANY FM stations within 100-125 miles with a dedicated directional FM only antenna. 2-3 splits may not require an amplifier, but you can use a Channel Master 3414 if you find too much loss.
With a good signal, the Sony radio can provide full stereo reception & little to no noise up to 100 miles with analog. The analog is so good, that is actually sounds better than most HD stations (only 60-70 mile range with HD)
The bad news is that Sony stopped making these amazing radios.
