Is the DB8e and Y5-7-13 a more preferable setup than the CM4228? I have no issues running a multi-antenna setup as it seems it would allow for the greatest amount of flexibility in tuning the system. I'm assuming that the dual antennas on the same mast should be separated by 3'?
So if I'm reading your recommendation correctly I should start with these items.

I may order the TVPRAMP1R as well to play with since it's fairly inexpensive. Also I had no knowledge of a VHF block/pass device such as the join-tenna hardware. To clarify though, I'm assuming if I put up two VHF Yagis, I would want a channel 13 join-tenna since it has a lower loss on the pass channel input. It did occur to me as well that we do have a strong FM signal in town (About 8 miles from our house) on 102.3 FM. Not sure if this will affect my reception ability.
Also my ideal setup would only have one feed off of the antenna system connecting directly to a whole house OTA/DVR device such as the Tablo. All of the other coax cables in the house would only be used to deliver Moca Ethernet to streaming devices such as Roku/AppleTV/FireTV. They stream the content from the Tablo which either supplies live TV or recorded content to the streaming device.
Having said that I completely agree that I should start by just getting the basic components of the OTA system up and running to see what works and what needs to be tweaked.
Thank you again,
