Suggestions for Attic HDTV Antenna

Hi,
I'm hoping to get a recommendation for an HDTV antenna installed in my attic. The signal analysis for my address is here: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...9900a26aa533de

This is a new install, that I'm hoping to connect to two TVs and a third HDTV tuner in my computer. The five main channels I'm interested in are:
WCVB-TV
WGBH-DT
WBZ-TV
WHDH-TV
WFXT-DT

My house is a bit lower than my neighbors, and there are also many tall trees in my area.

Thanks for any help you can give!
Tim

Outside on the roof would be better, but if the attic is the only option, install a Channel Master 4228HD 8 bay UHF antenna aimed to 153 degrees magnetic. That should do the job provided your home has a standard shingle roof with no foil backed insulation under it, or in the walls.

You don't need an amplifier unless you are connecting more than four sets and have long runs of coax.

Thank you! If I opt for a roof install, would the antenna recommendation be the same?

Thanks,
Tim
