It looks as if you have at least one high band VHF channel to deal with (ch 9)... if you are close enough you might get enough signal from a UHF only antenna. In my case, I am about 12 miles from the local transmitters, and a small outdoor UHF antenna gets 3 high band VHF channels (as well as all the UHF channels) just fine!
I assume your flat panel set has a built in ASTC tuner for over-the-air digital reception... you might hook up a rabbit ears, or some other indoor antenna, and do a scan to see what you get and what you are missing. This might provide some indication of the difficulty of reception in your area.
Sure, you can split the output of the DTV converter box to several TVs, but of course the channel selected by the box will be seen on all of the sets at the same time.
It also appears that you have several low power analog channels left in your area that you should be able to receive without using a DTV box.
