Antenna Amplifier
I'm setting up a HDTV Digital Antenna. I have a long run of cable so I need a amplifier but don't know what kind or how powerful. The longest cable is around 100ft long and I'm running 4-5 tvs on it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Why do you believe that you will need an amplifier? If you are far from the station antennas, it will give the signal a boost, but so will a decent antenna.
I currently have a UHF halo in the attic which pulls in HDTV from stations up to about 50 miles away. I do sit in a fairly high area. I am feeding three TV's with splitters and the longest run is about 70 feet with no problem.

Channel Master makes an antenna preamp that mounts on the antenna and is powered by the coax so you don't have to run power to the roof.
