For your reception situation , 1 antenna will do it all.

A Channel Master CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna will receive the local Canada Digital Tv stations/channels.

The local channels are -->Very Strong Signal Strength<-- and the CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna will receive the local Digital Tv stations/channels at the front and back of the CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna because the local Digital Tv stations/channels are Very Strong Signal Strength.

No preamplifier or distribution amplifier is required for reception of the local Digital Tv stations channels.

Aim the CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna at about 150 degree magnetic compass direction.

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

A Tv antenna rotator is not required.
________________________________________

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

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

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



______________________________________________________________

For reception of some USA Digital Tv stations/channels.

The Same<->Channel Master CM4228HD aimed the same direction at about 150 magnetic compass direction.

150 degree is a in between aim direction for reception of the USA Digital Tv station/channels.

As always , the starting antenna aim direction is the --> starting antenna aim direction.

The antenna aim direction can be adjusted to provide the best reception.

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

WNPI-DT Real UHF Digital channel 23 , PBS channels. Will most likely be reliably received.

The next 2 Digital Tv stations/channels , may or may not be received reliably.

WCFE-DT Real UHF Digital channel 38 , PBS channels.

WNYF-LD Real UHF Digital channel 18 , FOX and digital sub channel - WWNY , CBS.

The Canada Digital Tv stations/channels are Very Strong Signal Strength , so a amplifier that has high resistance to being overloaded is required for reception of the USA Digital Tv stations/channels that are Very Weak Signal Strength.

Install a Winegard 'Boost' amplifier , LNA-100.

The LNA-100 is not weather/water resistant , so the LNA-100 is installed at a location that is out of the weather/water.

The LNA-100 is installed before the input side of the splitter.

The best practice is to install the amplifier closer to the antenna , to get the most and strongest signal from the antenna before any signal strength losses through long lengths of coax.

Reliable reception of the USA Digital Tv stations is the goal.
