Directional Antenna Advice

It may be less powerful than a 10 element yagi but it is also 1/4 the size

I finally got my equipment wich is one Winegard YA-1713 antenna, one Antennas Direct XG-91 antenna, one Channel Plus 1 GHZ 2-way splitter combiner and one Winegard HDP-269 Preamplifier.
My question is how best to hook this together to operate up to three or four TV sets.On the preamplifier instructions is a tip that states when splitting the signal to multiple TVs or combining with another signal source to install the power injector between the preamplifier and the splitter/combiner input. So my plan is to bring both antenna inputs into my attic with about 6' of RG6 from the antenna and where do I go from there? What is the best way to hook up the preamp, splitter combiner or possible additional line driving amps to provide a strong signal to several TVs with a maximum distance of around 100'? I guess that I need the skinny on the gozinta and gozouta of these devices. One additional thought. I have a woods with 70' high trees about 300' from my 40' high antenna. How bad will trees mess up my reception?
Thanks

You need a Pico=Macom UVSJ antenna joiner to connect the two antennas: mount it on the antenna mast. then run a very short jumper coax cable to the preamplifier. Run a single coax cable from the preamplifier to a central location in your home, where the coax cables to the TV sets will converge. Mount the preamplifier power injector in the line coming from the preamp and antenna, then mount your splitter in the line after the power injector. Make your connection to the splitter, and away you go.

I will hook it up as suggested the only difference is that I couldn't find a Pico=Macom UVSJ antenna joiner so I bought a Channel Plus splitter combiner in hopes that it would work OK

A splitter is not quite the same thing, as it doesn't filter inputs like the antenna joiner does, but try it, it may be OK...
