I found a person to install so please give me any recommendation on antenna.

Well, since you asked, but nobody has directly answered:

An MCM 30-2476 aimed at 175 degrees magnetic for CBS and ABC.

and an Antennas Direct DB8E with both panels aimed at 138 degrees magnetic for Fox, PBS, and NBC.

Combine the two antennas with a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner:

The output should go to an Antennas Direct Juice preamplifier.

A less expensive but less reliable alternative would be an RCA TVPRAMP1R preamp with the input switch set to separate, which will combine the two antennas because it has separate UHF and VHF inputs.

How well this will work will depend upon where the antennas will be mounted and if there are any objects in the signal path that will block the signals.
