Antenna Suggestion for 180 Separated Channels

I live in the middle of Maryland so I have one cluster of channels to the NE in Baltimore and one cluster of channels to the SW in Washington DC.

(I don't care so much about Annapolis (SE) or Pittsburgh (N) - but BONUS if they can also be reached)

I can currently receive nearly all the channels from Baltimore from my indoor, flat antennas. (Although, the non-amped one doesn't get CBS and neither gets Univision) And some of the stronger DC channels.

Because the signal sometimes drops from the indoor antennas, I've been thinking of getting a roof-mounted antenna. If I got one of those, I'd like to be able to get both BAL and DC channels, but I know that digital antennas are highly directional. Are there antennas that can be pointed in both directions? (My house is a 2 story house - don't appear to be especially elevated. I-95 is about 50 yards or so behind my house - in case that causes interference or something)

Ideally, I'd like to get channel 30.1 (which Antennaweb lists as one of the furthest channels I can reach and would require a purple antenna - although I've seen on here that Antennaweb sometimes over-compensates on the antennas) as it has Asian-themed and Asian-language programming - which I have an interest in.

My house is relatively new - I think it's about 15 years old - so all the connections to the rooms are on a splitter outside. I'd be splitting to at least two rooms (maybe 3).
