For some inexplicable reason, Southbridge is a terrible place for TV reception. I have done a couple of installations in the area, always with limited success. Boston is the most likely reception target. It is all UHF, and the transmitters are are on very tall towers and are very powerful, so an HD8200 is a waste if you are looking primarily for Boston.
If you want Providence, WPRI and WNAC are on channels 13 and 12, respectively. There are NO low band VHF stations anywhere in the area, so, again, there is NO value using an HD8200. You would be better off using a high-band VHF yagi and a high-gain UHF antenna like an AntennasDirect 91XG or a DB8e and a rotator. Use a preamplifier only if you are running very long lines and/or multiple TV sets.
You don't need to make this harder than it is: Boston is your best bet. I know how hard any kind of reception in Southbridge is: I can barely even get any FM radio reception when I am in Southbridge.
