Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.winegarddirect.com , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.antennasdirect.com. Use standard RG-6 coax (No need for RG-6 quad shield) from the antenna to the connection point that goes to the other coaxes that go to the Tv up stairs and the Tv in the basement. For one Tv connected , no splitter is used , For 2 Tv's connected use a simple common 2 way splitter that sells for $8.00 or so. A supper wiz bang gold plated HD compatible splitter that sells for $49.95 is not required.
