my last posts were in 2012, I have lived with the same reception since that time.

I have had a Winegard CA-8100 with a AP-8275 pre-amp since 2001. My reception has been good 80% of the time, with the worst reception being in the heat of the summer, or fog, or low storms. All this last winter, reception was 99% good, but recently it has gotten bad where I felt it was time for a new antenna. After much research, I ordered a Antennas Direct 91XG with a Channel Master CM7777 pre-amp. Today I got it installed and so far I feel its going to be worth the cost and effort. But only time will tell to see if it will give me occasional bad reception.
After scanning for channels tonight, I am getting all channels on the list down to 28.1 with the rotor pointing the antenna to heading 342(Chicago), except ch 2.1 and 22.1. I am also getting ch 34.1, 66.1, and 20.1. I can get 22.1 and 46.1 if I turn it to Azimuth 45(South Bend). The one thing that I am thrilled with is I get ch 18.1 which is broadcast on ch 11, with the antenna pointed in either of the above mentioned directions, even though the statation is at Azi. 142. And the 91xg is uhf only.
Now for my question. I installed the 91xg, but left the CA8100 completely operational. and I installed the 91 xg 80 degrees off where when it is pointed at 45 degrees, the CA8100 is pointed at 342 degrees. I am thinking I would like to hook both antennas with their pre-amps into the main cable that feeds my TV's. Do I need a special "TEE" to do this? Also, is there a problem with what I want to do? I want to do this so we dont have to turn the rotor to watch either set of stations from 45 or 342.
Well I think I gave you all the information you need, if not, I will answer your questions as they come. Here is a picture of my antennas. BTW, that dish is for wireless internet.
