Antenna Recommendation

Hello all, I just purchased a house in the country and I'm not interested in purchasing tv every month! My general plan is to build my setup one antenna at a time, and avoid splitters/ganging etc. Every time I add an antenna I'll add a tuner. Only one TV for now. Note that I used 25' for height on the report, but I may be able to go higher.

Step one: I'd like to get the Ottawa channels. On my TVFool report, these are the channels at 288/272 degrees true. Do you think that a HD8200U pointed between the two towers (at, say 280*) would be able to pick them all up, or would it be better to have a db8e with one bank pointed at each tower and vhf add-on.

I don't mind using a pre-amp, but am a little concerned with the ultra close channel 8 analog/fm radio tower.

Step two: 91xg pointed at 119 true for the US channels. I'm not worried about getting ABC on 13...I've heard its impossible, lol. Pre-amp will be used here as well.

Step three: (or should this be step one?) DB8e or similar with one bank pointed at Montreal (64* true), and the other bank pointed at roughly 200* true.

Thanks for any thoughts and replies! I'm jealous of all of you who can get 20+ channels on one antenna!
