I am looking to leave cable service but would still like to access local stations.  I ran my signal analysis and included the link.  I need some advice on how to procede.  I think I need a rooftop antenna.  If so can anyone tell me what type of antenna will best receive the signals in my area?

Continuing to look in to it and I am sure I need a rooftop antena.  Reading through the forums has been very helpful.  The stations that I am hoping to receive(KGO, KPIX, KTVU, KOFY, and one or more of the PBS: KQED, KQEH, KCSM) have signals in the yellow to red range.  When I map out these station's signals the majority show my house in purple to violet cast.  I am hoping that with work and the right equipment I can get these on our television.  I have read a lot of recommendations for Winegard HD 7698p and HD 7082p and am wondering if one of these will work well for me.  Would I also need a pre amp and/or rotator?
