HD8200XL split for TV and FM? And maybe AM?

So, question on the HD8200XL. I know it's for VHF/UHF/FM, but can it be used for TV and FM at the same time? Is there a splitter out there that I could feed it into that would give me just the OTA TV UHF/VHF off of one split and the FM VHF off of the other split? I know the FM band actually sits in the middle of the TV VHF (between channels 6 and 7), and I know the low VHF ones aren't used as much anymore. I live in the greater Lansing area, and the only VHF station around here is WILX on VHF 10.

Or could I just split em with a normal splitter and hope that they don't interfere with each other?

I also have a AFHD-4 that came with this splitter kit to split out the FM and AM signals, but the AFHD-4 isn't beefy enough to grab some far away stuff (I really want to pull 97.1 out of Southfield). Anyway, not sure if the HD8200XL would even grab any AM stuff. It's definitely not a loop antenna, although neither is the AFHD-4, and neither is a car radio antenna. Although AM reception kinda blows anyway, because the list of things that interfere with it is 10 miles long.

I actually have the AFHD-4 up on my roof right now and TV just using an HD-Blade inside, which is probably mostly sufficient. But my goal here is to put one monster antenna on my roof and have it be my only antenna. Is that reasonable/possible?
