Please advise on which antenna to get

My wife cancelled out Direct TV three months ago. Since that time, we have been only watching Net Flicks. But as you can imagine, we are really missing our local T.V. channels. I bought a piece of junk set top antenna and it won’t even pick up one channel!

Therefore, I need your help selecting an outdoor antenna than will provide the most channels available. Right now we have no channels so anything will be a huge improvement. We really don’t have a preference on what channels we want or don’t want. Just as many as possible based on where we live. Here is out radar plot: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46ae6cf1203a2b

I was considering the following antennas on the Best Buy Web Site:

1. Antennas Direct - ClearStream 2V Long-Range HDTV Antenna: Model: C2-V-CJM or the larger Model: C4

2. Antennas Direct - Outdoor Multidirectional HDTV Antenna Model: DB8

The DB 8 claims to pull in UHF and VHF from multiple directions up to 70 miles away. Is this what I need to get both the 330 degree signals and the 68 degree signals?

Equipment used is the old Direct TV wiring. There are two separate 50’ runs coming off the roof and running into separate rooms. So I suppose I will need a splitter once installing the antenna.

I am not sure which make or model of antenna to buy or if I need any amps or boosters. Your help would greatly be appreciated! Thank You.
