I'd try a single antenna solution as a start. There's a fair chance you'll get useable reception from the rear of an antenna.

Try a Winegard HD7698P, Antennacraft HBU-55 or HBU-44. Point at about 112° as a starting point. Be sure to sweep left and right of that starting aim point, looking for the best compromise of aim. An RCA TVPRAMP1R preamplifier would be useful when driving a 2 or 3-way splitter.

If you can't get acceptable reception with a single fixed aim antenna, a second antenna can be used. For the group of signals in the SW direction, consider an RCA ANT-751R or even a Winegard HD7694P. To use both antennas as a part of the same system, you have several options: http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=2882
