Here is a shot at receiving the Canada and USA Digital Tv stations/channels at the same time With Out 2 Separate Antenna Systems.

Above the roof in such a manner that the roof and house do not block reception in the directions of , east , south east , south.

Install a Antennas Direct DB4e and a Antennas Direct C5 , both antennas aimed at about 130 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

__________________________________________

The Separate , DB4e UHF antenna and C5 VHF antenna provide aiming flexibility.

As always , the starting antenna aim direction is --> the starting antenna aim direction.
The antenna aim can be adjusted for best reception.

Most Digital Tv's have a signal strength meter and some Digital Tv's have a signal quality meter.

Tvfool lists the.

Real Channels that are transmitted and received.

And the Virt. = Virtual numbers.

The C5 antenna receives the Real channels 7 thru 13.

The DB4e receives the Real UHF channels 14 thru 51.

Looking at the tvfool , Pending Applications Included Digital channel list , I see that All of the Canada and USA , channels in the Green and Yellow zones of list should be received.
__________________________________________

The C5 comes with a combiner to combine the C5 and DB4e together on to 1 coax.

Connect the C5 to the VHF connection of the combiner.

Connect the DB4e to the UHF connection of the combiner.

The remaining connection of the combiner goes out to the Tv's.

Try reception with 1 or 2 Tv's with out a amplifier.

For 3 or 4 Tv's connected will most likely require a amplifier.

Use one of the New low noise amplifier from Winegard , the , Winegard 'Boost' LNA-100 distribution amplifier.

Connect the amplifier Before any splitter.

The amplifier is connected to the remaining connection of the combiner and before any splitter.

The Winegard 'Boost' LNA-100 amplifier is not water resistant so will be indoors.
_________________________

The Best Practice way to run coax is.

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a 3 way splitter.

For 4 Tv's connected use a 4 way splitter.

---->Avoid Using Multipul Splitters.<----
---->Avoid Chaining Splitters one after the other.<----

Some typical antenna mounts are , tripod antenna mounts , eave antenna mounts , chimney antenna mounts.
