Reception of the signals to the north or west will require a bit of extra effort. I'd consider a second, separate antena system for DX'ing. The combination of an Antennas Direct 91XG + Antennacraft Y10713 + RCA TVPRAMP1R is a capable 'off the shelf' solution. A rotator would be useful for fine tuning aim as well as scanning the horizon for distant signals. A premium rotator such as the HyGain AR-40 is vastly superiour to any consumer grade option.

This type of system woulld need to be cabled separately from the main system used for local reception. Consider using an external tuner to terminate the 'DX' antenna system. http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=2882
