Hi everyone. As the title says, I'm thinking (hard) about dumping cable TV. I'd like to learn as much as I can about OTA DTV before I make the decision, so I can make an informed decision. I have several questions, but first I'll post the link to my TV Signal Analysis and some pertinent info.

I'm most interested in the channels in red, possibly the channels in yellow, but they're not necessary (the only one in yellow I'm really interested in would be WMPB-DT). I'm open to mounting an antenna in the attic, but not on the roof. We have 3 TV's upstairs (2nd floor), one TV on the first floor, and one in the basement. The only HDTV is on the first floor.
A few questions:
1. I assume for the non-HDTV's I would need some sort of converter?
2. Are set-top boxes/antennas an option?
3. Can I mount one antenna in the attic and run it to all the TV's?
4. What type of cable/connections are used?
I've already read John Candle's thread on OTA D-TV. I've looked through the site some, but with this OTA stuff, I'm totally lost - I've lived off of cable pretty much my entire life so that's all I know....LOL.
