The RF amplifiers designed for television all provide about 10x to 100x gain (10dB - 20dB), which will improve a weak signal but it cannot help one that is too degraded. Indoor antennas are basically the same thing as "rabbit ears" from days gone by but some come in a more attractive "plate" package.
None of the indoor antennas is anywhere close to the performance of a good outdoor antenna. Those are the same as the beam antennas (also from yesteryear). The same antennas you used to see on people's house in the 1970s will work just fine today. You can also put an outdoor antenna in your attic. The main thing is the beam antennas must be pointed at the transmitting antenna.
