Your friend lives in a difficult location for TV reception if he wants local and US. They are in different directions and there is a great difference in signal strength.

If you click on pending, the report is probably more accurate for the local channels.

If you try to aim the two panels in different directions, a preamp is needed for the US channels, but it will be overloaded by the local channels.

I suggest two separate systems. The 8-bay with both panels aimed at the US with a preamp. For the locals, a lower gain UHF antenna, like the C2 or a 4-bay, without a preamp.
