The FM filters to consider:

Preamps to consider:

Antennas Direct Juice, Channel Master 7778, RCA TVPRAMP1R

The Juice has a good Noise Figure, is resistant to overload, does not have an FM filter so you should add one between the antenna and the input of the preamp, does have a 4G-LTE filter which is becoming more important because of interference from new mobile phone frequencies just above UHF TV channels

The 7778 does has an FM filter

The RCA performs well, is inexpensive, has a reputation for poor quality control, the separate/combined switch sometimes doesn't make good contact with the VHF input in the separate position, the workaround is to use the combined position and an external UVSJ UHF/VHF diplexer like the one that comes with the C5
