Help on selecting the right antenna

Hello,
I am new to this site and antennas in general . I was wondering if users would have recommendations for me on a good antenna for my house. I have been looking online and reading various articles on selecting one but it seems there is a lot of misinformation, scams etc out there. I figured a forum like this might be the place to go to hopefully get some honest answers on what I need. I want to install an antenna on my roof which is approximately 35’-45'
in the air as it’s a multifamily. I am planning on hooking up two TVs to this possibly a third sometime down the road. I live on the first floor but own the house so no issues running cable or mounting antenna. I just want to get the most channels I can and in hd or whatnot if possible. Here is my link to report http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...9e74f22ff7093f
Any and all answers would be greatly appreciated and please let me know if any other information is required for your recommendation on the right antenna to purchase

Thank You in advance
James

Tv Antennas and Reception

Your reception situation is interesting because of the weak Tv stations in all directions. Your best reception is West , West South. I recommend a Winegard HD7697P antenna with a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp aimed at 265 degree magnetic compass. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html . Also read and understand about , REAL Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , Virtual Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , Analog Broadcast Tv Channels , http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=695 . Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.starkelectronic.com , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.3starinc.com. Here are some antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html
