If I lived in your house I'd have one antenna for the local Rochester stations plus a second antenna on a rotator for Buffalo and Toronto. I'd get an external HD tuner for the rotatable antenna and switch from antenna to HDMI on the TV set to switch antennas. That way you won't need to rescan to watch the locals and you can try to find a tuner that allows for flexible channel adding to minimize the confusion caused by a rotator.
The Denny's stacker antenna works OK, but has low band reception that doesn't help you. Better designs are HD 7694P or HBU-33 for Rochester plus HD 7698P or HBU-55 for Buffalo and Toronto.
You may need a preamp for multiple TV's and/or the further stations.
I'll be watching the Bills tomorrow.
