So the bottom line is you need a pre-amp or a distribution amp but I'll leave that to others to make a recommendation. My own thought is a pre-amp would be overloaded so close to the antenna but a distribution amp may not have enough quality signal to amplify after the 100ft run of coax or add too much noise. Perhaps someone with more expertise in this area can advise.

Can anyone else weigh in on the pre-amp vs distribution amp? I could pick up the RCA TVPRAMP1R
OR the Channel Master CM 3410 before or after the splitter.
