Antenna Recommendation

I am looking for a rooftop antenna mounted on my single dwelling two-story house. It would only need to pick up the green and yellow in the UHF band from mag heading of 244 to 275. I was hoping to use the existing coax cable that presently runs cable to the tvs using some amplified splitters. We can skip the PBS station WSIU that is High VHF since KETC is UHF and in the basic heading. Which antennas would you recommend

Any of the 4-bay panel antennas. (DB-4, U4000, CM4221... etc.)

TVs connected

Counting the 2 computers with tv tuner cards I have 7 televisions connected. 3 are in the basement so an indoor is not as practical not to mention I am sure it is cheaper to get one outdoor antenna then 7 indoor.

A CM3418 distribution amp will help feed all those tuners.

Amp

I have something very similar to that already. I will have to check the stats to see if that one is better.

No point spending money on a DA unless your existing amp overloads.
