Yes, a pre-amp does require power. I have an equipment closet on the second floor for my network and home theater gear and originally planned to put the antenna in there as well but I never could get all of the stations in the area. I finally moved the antenna to a section of the attic that had no obstructions other than the roof between the antenna and the stations. All of the stations now come in like gangbusters, even the ones at the fringe compass points. This is the antenna I have, about $38 at amazon. I have it attached to an articulating arm TV wall mount so I can aim it and have it stay in place.

That's how mine is. I may need to rotate it to see if I can get rid of the lag but it is mounted to a stud and about 3 feet shy of the roof.
And in my situation, I'm thinking about getting another antenna and mounting it in the other attic and feeding it directly to this older TV. Then there would be no splits to that one, since it is the only one giving me issues. Or I may just get a new TV.
