There are several possible complications that arise when using a rotator but there are other options: http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=2882 & http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=820

@DL posted just before me... I think his recommendations are quite good... though I was thinking about larger antennas fixed toward Detroit, I'll let @DL's recommendation stand without contradiction.

A second, larger antenna on a rotator would give you access to more Canadian and US signals. Whether you wired that second feed to one, some or all TVs would be up to you. A Winegard HD7698P paired with an Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp and NTE U-106 + TB-105 (rotator & thrust bearing) would be a capable secondary system.
