Here is my tv fool link http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d1dda0fc377f884

I am very new to this and want to cut my cords. I would like to run 3 -4 tv's with an indoor antenna if possible. What would you guys recommend? Please let me know if you need any more info.

According to your TV Fool report, you have lots of easy to receive signals available. Do you have trees nearby, or other buildings that may be obstructions? If not, then the following options would work very well.

A premium system: mounted above the roof, a Winegard HD7015 or Channel Master CM-3018, pointed south (about 195° to 200° per a compass).

A quick and easy option that will likely miss several weaker signals: A Terk HDTVi (not HDTVa. This is an indoor antenna, you would need one per set, unless you opted to place it in the attic or other location protected from the weather... then cable to a splitter to feed all the TVs.

Indoor is definitely what I want. The wife doesn't want anything on our roof so I am going to go with an attic install. Is there a good indoor you would recommend to pick up the majority of the stations or will the Terk you suggested work. I currently have a splitter in the attic that I am using for my Satellite now.

If you are going into the attic for sure, err on the side of caution by measuring for how long and wide you can accommodate.

I would consider an Antennacraft C490 if it will fit. You may need the additional gain due to losses caused by roof construction. The antenna needs to be placed so it can point ESE while not pointing into duct work or other metal. It needs to be at least 3' from metal to the sides.

If re-using satellite cable, be sure to remove any and all parts that are designed to pass only satellite frequencies. The splitter can be mistaken for a diplexer and vice versa.
