I would not expect an indoor design such as the Terk HDTVi to hold up against the elements.

A CM-7777 is a weak signal, AKA, 'deep-fringe' amplifier. You should not use one, it will likely overload, which will hurt your reception, not help it. For the local signals, you have plenty of signal in the air. You need to put the antenna outside were it has unobstructed signal to receive. (You can add an amplifier later if you have many sets to connect.)
The 8-bay antennas are UHF only, you'd be missing several signals broadcasting on VHF channels.

The CM-5016 could be a substitute for the ANT-751. (Though here in the US it's twice as expensive.) I'm sticking to the ANT-751 suggestion unless you find the CM-5016 to be price competitive.

For the US stations, I'll amend my suggestion from the DB4e to a Winegard HD7694P... I overlooked the signal from WVNY on real CH-13.
