Please help me choose an antenna

Hello everyone.
First off, great forums!
Im new to this and im trying to pick out an antenna. Ive already cut the cord to my cable and I would like to pick up some local channels.
Heres the link to my reception on tvfool:

I'd like to put it in the attic if possible. My home is single story with vinyl siding. No aluminum insulation. the sits on top of a hill too. That said, if putting it on the roof is far better I will.

Thanks in advance!

Tv antennas and Tv reception

The default antenna height at tvfool is 10 feet , make a second radar report with the antenna at 25 feet. Are there tall trees around the house?? How many tv's are/will be connected??

Thanks for the help electron. I changed the height to 25 feet. Is this the height of my antenna?

There is one tall tree close by, northeast from my house.

I will have two tvs hooked up. One will be passed through a receiver if that matter.

thanks!

Tv antennas and Tv reception

For the reception of the digital tv channels in the green zone of radar map and some of the channels in the yellow zone of radar map. Install a ANT751 antenna in the attic aimed at about 244 degree magnetic compass. Yes it is Ok to put the antenna in the attic. . If you will like to receive more tv stations/channels , mount the ANT751 on the roof aimed at about 244 degree magnetic compass. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. Home Depot may have the ANT751 , Home Depot has RG-6 coax and etc..
