  If you are only a mile away from the broadcast tower, a pre-amp is 
likely to overload the front end of the tuner so it is not a good idea. 
If you want to get more distant stations, a larger and higher gain 
antenna located in the attic or on the roof is the better approach 
depending on the distance and terrain. What is your zip code?
