Antenna Setup Opinions - S.F. Bay Area

Hi everyone. New member and first-time post. Glad to be here!

I have decided to cut the cord and have lined-up some gear that I think should get the job done.

First, here is the link to my location report:

Starting with my choice for the set-top box, the Zinwell ZAT-970A:

I currently have a Winegard HD-6000 that I have for FM radio reception only:

I plan to use it, coupled with an Antennas Direct DB8 UHF antenna on the roof, around 30-35 feet off the ground:

I may, or may not need a rotor to get good reception from both San Francisco and San Jose, if I point toward S.F.

Any opinions on this?

Also, I plan to connect them with a Antennas Direct EU385CF and run a single cable to both my TV set-top box and FM receiver in the living room:

Any recommendations on whether a standard splitter at the TV & radio will work best, or something more specialized?

Also, should I use an amplifier? I expect the cable length to be around 50 feet.

Thank you for any help here,
Chris O.
