First, these antenna need a agreeing device, that justifies resistances antenna and receiver

Satellite is nice, but it's not free and DVB-S cards are very hard to find here.
The card I have can work with ATSC and QAM-based versions of DVB-C. I don't have a cable line installed so I can't use DVB-C, but the card has two inputs so I will leave one connected to an antenna for ATSC once I get a DVB-C cable line installed.

But which design should I use to start with?

I have a 75R to 300R balun transformer. Can I use it as is or should I rewind it for your design?
digifun
Yes, you can use this transformer.
