Additionally, I am using a splitter, which was also in place and used by the Direct TV satellite.

Replace the incompatible sat device with an appropriate splitter as recommended, when its time comes. Make the antenna work first with the simplest possible connection -antenna - one coax cable - TV set (properly configured).
RG6 coax is fine. If you already have RG6 quad shield, use it. Don't buy it and overspend for it because "quad shield has to better, right?". QS cable isn't needed for antenna signals but may be used.

Peak it for best results. Every TV or converter box uses a different arbitrary scale, so the absolute numbers are relatively useless.
Do NOT use any pre-amplifiers. Perhaps a distribution amp might be needed, but we have no data yet to suggest one is needed.
Yes, a second (or more) TV set may be used. Let's get it working in the simplest configuration first.
