I suggest an 8-bay UHF antenna like the Antennas Direct DB8E with both panels aimed at 260 degrees magnetic. You will have the best luck staying with one direction. I don't have any experience with the Solid Signal Xtreme Signal HDB8X, but the price looks good.

Bad news; trees block signals.

First try the antenna with a 4-way splitter.

If that doesn't work, replace the splitter with a Channel Master 3414.

If that doesn't work try a Channel Master 7778 preamp at the antenna and a 4-way splitter down below.

If that doesn't work try a Channel Master 7778 at the antenna and a 3414 down below.

If that doesn't work cut some trees.

If that doesn't work put up a tower.
