Going to an Antenna

Hello all. First off here's my link
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...1dda059be1ef9a

Currently we have Comcast and we are going to cut them some time next week. I have a eve mounted antenna that I got from Radio Shack about 10 years ago model VU90XR. The current antenna is about 25 feet above ground and is higher then the peak of my roof. I few years ago when we had Dish we tried using the antenna for local stations. My wife's favorite station is CW out of Philly. The problem we were having at that time was it would come in for a day or two then it would not. I got something from radio shack that would plug in and put it in behind my entertainment system. It worked for a few days then lost the station again. This kept happening until I had the gain turned all the way up and the station would not come in. I would like to get as many stations as possible. I'm looking for an antenna that does FM, Low VHF, High VHF, and UHF or a combination. I've looked online and talked to different places and of course they all say that there antenna is the best. Some of them were Dennys Hd Stacker the clear stream cv2 and one called the spectrum 6. I've also read somethings on this fourm and found out that the spectrum is chinese junk. The new antenna will be hooked up to 3 Tvs and 1 stereo reciever. My plan is to at least get a new antenna, ground wire, and about 35 feet of rg6 cable going into my house and maybe a distribution amp like the winegard HDA-100.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreaciated.

Thanks in advance Rich
