You have plenty of signal from the nearby Victoria stations but you'll need a bit larger antenna to get the Vancouver stations reliably. I'm inclined to recommend a Winegard HD9075 or 9095. http://www.winegarddirect.com/viewit...P%29&p=SHD9095

I'd try this with no amplifier. The strong local signals are on the same azimuth as the Vancouver signals so it's possible to overload most preamplifiers. If you don't have enough signal to split, a Winegard HDP-269 or Antennas Direct CPA-19 can be added later. These preamplifiers are more tolerant of high level input.

Here's a very basic diagram.
