What do I need?

Hello,
currently I have the antennacraft colorstar C290 and the u4000 antenna installed 35 feet off the ground with a short run of rg6 to my room but my parents decided they want to drop satellite and want my antenna to feed the existing wiring that the satellite company installed. That would mean the signal would have to be split three ways and would bring the total length of the cable run to around 110-125 feet long. I figure I will need a preamp since in my room with the short cable run i get 37 channels but when I connect it to the insanely ling cable run that the sattelite company installed I only get 15 to 20 channels in any of the rooms.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good preamp with separate VHF and UHF inputs thet would be able to provide enough gain tho be split three ways?

here is my tv fool report

Use a 4-output distribution amplifier instead of a pre-amp if your cabling layout permits it.
