I'd give the suggestion teleview has offered a try.

Ok, this is an update to my situation. Although I was COMPLETELY skeptical that the Channelmaster CM4228HD would really make any difference, I bought one anyway because I really want to cut the directv cord. My biggest dilemma was where to install it as it is quite large. Finally settled on the roof obscured from view by a chimney. Did I mention how big this thing is? So I got it all wired up so that it is feeding 3 TVs. And 2 of them are being fed through 2 splitters. All I can say is WOW! The reception is fantastic. All 3 TVs are perfect. Picture is crystal clear and I have not had a single drop at all. Totally and completely impressed. I have now purchased a TiVo roamio DVR and have it working for about 3 days. So far I am totally pleased. I was hoping to find an OTA DVR that had no recurring fees but did not want to have to cobble something together and possibly compromise on features. The roamio has been great so far. I'm thinking that it is a well spent $15 a month given the amount I am spending now on DTV.
Sorry to ramble on. Just very excited that I have a well working solution now. Good luck to everyone.
