Help with amp choice, Woodstock, Ga

Hello folks. I recently bought and hooked up a DB4E on the side of my house pointing in the direction of the antennas in Atlanta. To the best of my ability and knowledge I have it pointed at about 160 - 165°. I have it on the old DirecTV mast at about 7' at the antennas lowest point.

The cable run is a mix of RG6 (about 15') and RG59 (about 25'). Without an amp I can pick up 29 stations but they are a little choppy. I have a cheap in quality Radio Shack single port inline amp at 12db that brings in 39 stations that don't have the pixel shuffle. Those extra 10 channels are 26-1 through 10 that aren't really watchable. The station is only 15kW. Don't really care about those.

Question would be this. I would like to split this signal 4 ways. I've looked at channel masters 4way. I actually have one (Electroline EDA-2400) around here somewhere when Comcast installed one but I can't put my hands on it. I was thinking of taking back the Radio Shack one since it's only 1 port. Which amp would ya'll recommend? And! How much difference in signal would I get it I put the antenna on the chimney? It would raise it another 8' or so I think.

Thanks for looking,
