The Simplest 1 antenna solution (no A/B antenna switches or antenna rotator) to receive the following list of OTA = Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels is install a Antennas Direct - Clear Stream 4 UHF Tv antenna aimed at about 260 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

These Digital Tv stations/channels in the Green reception zone are Very Strong Signal Strength.

WUNJ-DT REAL UHF Digital channel 29 , virtual number (x) PBS , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNC-TV.

WWAY-DT REAL UHF Digital channel 46 , virtual number (3.1-2) ABC and RTV.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWAY.

WECT-DT REAL UHF Digital channel 44 , virtual number (6.1-2) NBC and Bounce.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WECT.

WSFX-TV REAL UHF Digital Tv channel 30 , virtual number (26.1-2) FOX and This Tv.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSFX-TV.

WILM-LD REAL UHF Digital channel 40 , virtual number (10.1) CBS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WILM-LD.

WPXU-DT REAL UHF Digital channel 34 , virtual number (35.1-2-3) ION and Qubo and ION Life.

The reception is Very Strong at your location , I think that No preamplifier or distribution amplifier is required.

Connect the CS4 antenna to a simple common 4 way splitter.

The correct way to do the coax wiring and connections is a coax goes out to the Tv locations from each output of the 4 way splitter.

(Chaining splitters one after the other , one splitter connected to an other splitter connected to an other splitter connected to an other splitter , the signal strength before the end and at the end of the chain of splitters will be Very Weak.)

If the coax wiring is a chain of splitters.

I recommend - install New coax wiring so a coax goes out to each Tv location

from the single 4 way splitter.

I am thinking the RG59 coax has been in place for a long time.

I recommend 'clean up' the coax wiring , use RG6.

________________________________________________

As always , trees and tree leaves do a good job of , reflecting , reducing , blocking , Digital Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including the roof and house building.

It is best to install the CS4 UHF antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind including the roof and house building.

On the pole is a good location.

Or if you can install the antenna above the roof with a good shot at the transmitters to the , west , and WPXU-DT ION to the east , that will be Ok.

Yes ION will be received through the back of the CS4 antenna , the Signal strength at your location is very strong.

If the Signal strengths at the ends of the long runs of coax to the Tv locations is a little weak , then a Channel Master CM3414 distribution amplifier can be used in place of the 4 way splitter.

However give the 4 way splitter a opportunity first.

Here are some places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.channelmasterstore.com.
