The following antennas or dishes are covered by these rules:
- A "dish" antenna one meter (39.37 inches) or less in diameter (or any size dish if located in Alaska), designed to receive direct broadcast satellite service, including direct-to-home satellite service, or to receive or transmit fixed wireless signals via satellite.
- An antenna that is one meter or less in diameter and is designed to receive video programming services via broadband radio service (wireless cable), or to receive or transmit fixed wireless signals other than via satellite.
- An antenna that is designed to receive local television broadcast signals.

When I read the 1 meter restriction, it sounds as if it specifically applies to satellite service reception. Over the air TV is spoken of separately and has no such limiting dimension mentioned.
You have two major groups of stations, one west of you and another to the NE. The signals are strong and most are not blocked by terrain. So, a modest gain antenna is going to do well, both in terms of signal strength received and the range from left to right which it will receive well.
If you can mount outside, a Winegard HD7000R will be even better than the ANT-751. The 7000 will give you a shot at receiving the one or two stations in the CH-2 to CH 6 band. You should not need an amplifier if splitting to two or three TVs.
