Here's some information on the translators you can receive signals from:

KOAC-DT 7 PBS
K48MP-D 48 NBC / Justice / Estrella
K14GW-D 14 FOX / MyN
K20DD-D 20 Fox / MN
K45CV 47 ABC / Me-TV / GetTV
K38KU-D 38 Youtoo/etc.
KVAL-DT 13 CBS/ThisTV/GRIT

Mount your antennas outdoors in a place with a clear view of the west (and south if you want try for CBS, as CBS is your weakest signal).

CBS is a VHF High signal on real channel 13 and weak, so it's iffy. You could probably need something like this Stellar Labs VHF-Hi Antenna pointed at 188 degrees on a compass.

All your other channels are UHF LOS (Line of Sight) coming from either 261 or 271 degrees. Either an Antennas Direct Clearstream 2. Or a RCA ANT751. Pointed at about 265 degrees on a compass.

Combine the signals with a VHF/UHF combiner similar to this one. Try it first with one TV to make sure you can get the signals before splitting or amplifying. Experiment with locations on your roof (away from power lines) before drilling holes.

If you don't want to try for CBS then get either an Antennas Direct C2V or a RCA ANT-751 and point it to 265 degrees.
