Would a passive splitter work or should that be a distribution amp?
Try a passive 4-way splitter first. If one of the lines is very long, use two 2-way splitters in cascade for a 3-way split. If you need more gain, replace it with a CM3414, which is a distribution amp and splitter in one case.

With that big antenna, anything more than 5 feet above the upper bracket should have guy wires. You can buy a tripod mount for the roof, but it would require roof penetration for the fasteners done by a roofer to reduce the chance of leaks.

Try the easiest height you can do now and see how it does. You can always go higher later if needed.

I'm not sure what type of mount is best for your house because I can't see it from here. Maybe a mast coming up from ground level would be best.
