I'm in the early process of working out the details of dropping my current Bell Sat and going OTA and would appreciate some advice on antenna design. My profile is

I have been playing with a very cheap set of rabbit ears (and a cheap HD to standard tuner/converter) to get a first cut at seeing the potential and have been able to pick up a number of channels both at the 65 and 119 degree (True) towers which would satisfy my needs (and those of my spouse). I have good spots to mount an external antenna or two and will be using the signals for two TVs (one standard and one HD but no internal tuner). I will eventually want to set up a DVR and am debating whether to use a dedicated system or build a media PC. Either way, this would need to be able to pick up signals from both towers without a switch or rotor.
What I'm hoping for is some advice on whether I could select a fairly wide band antenna that would pick up both towers or use a couple of directional ones and combine them (assuming the loss from the combining would be over come by the gain with the directional antennas and/or preamps).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated before I start shopping for antennas.
Thanks
