I removed the UHF from my CM to add it to the DB8e.
That wasn't my original intention, though.
Antennas Direct recommended the DB8e when I called them. (Had a 25% off coupon which was my impetus.)
Only after ordering did I learn the DB8e didn't work with VHF.
They recommended I keep my CM for VHF.
The CM, usually, picks up WWCP 8 even though it's pointed SW.
Sometimes it doesn't.
The DB8e has picked up WJAC even though it's pointed SW, too.
Neither station comes in 100% reliably, though.
I've never tried a preamp on the CM because it seems to pick up VHF well.
Because of size, weight, etc. the CM will not get any further attention.
It's too high to reach and too cumbersome to get down and put back up.
I will give the preamp another try tomorrow.
I may not have had the switches set correctly.

The best solution I can think of for you if you want both directions for UHF and VHF to 3 TVs, is UHF and VHF antennas for both directions (or a UHF/VHF combo antenna for each direction) with a preamp for each direction, and two coax lines to each TV.
One coax line will go to the TV antenna input, and the other coax line for the other direction will go to a separate tuner with its output going to the aux input of the TV.

Would a separate tuner be needed for each TV?
Only 2 TVs would be interested in this setup
