After being a cable customer for 20+ years, I am finally wanting to try to get HDTV over the air but need some help and advice. I have a few questions.

First, here is what I got from my address analysis:

Obviously I want to get the most and clearest channels as I can. I don't really understand what this analysis is telling me. Are those first 10 signals from my location good signals?

I tried an amplified indoor antenna from Radio Shack just for kicks since the guy said i could return it if I was not satisfied. I ran the auto detect on my HDTV and it found 4 digital signals, but I only got (could see) channel 6.1 and nothing else. It was clear and looked good. I did not try to go outside with the antenna.

So, if I wanted to try a large rooftop antenna what do I need to be looking for. Can I use the existing cable wiring to tie into the cable that will be coming from the antenna? Or is there a special ohm cable that is different from what the Cable company used?

Sorry for the long winded post. Any help appreciated.
