Hi, I’m a n00b here. I will be cancelling satellite in the middle of September and would like to prepare for that now. I’ll be purchasing a rooftop antenna, as one station that I need to receive is in the “yellow” range and I have a relatively low-pitch roof with no good attic site in which to place an antenna. To control recording, streaming, etc, I’ll be building a dedicated home theater PC.
My TV is a Panasonic TH-42PX75U.
Here’s my signal report:

I have three questions:
1. The only VHF station I really need is the PBS, which is relatively high frequency (channel 9). Will I need a UHF/VHF antenna or am I likely to have satisfactory reception with a UHF-only antenna?
2. I live alone and have only one TV set, no need for a splitter. Also, house is only one-story and antenna will be positioned on roof within a <25’ cable run of the TV. Will I require a preamp?
3. Is a multidirectional antenna generally preferable or is it more desirable to have a directional antenna mounted on a remote-controlled rotor?
Thanks in advance for any help you might offer with antenna selection based upon the above information.
