Would like some recommendations please
 
I have a two story house and would like to split into 3 TV's, two upstairs and one downstairs. All I really care about is the local stations. I'd like to have an indoor antenna, preferably not too expensive. Also, is there anything else I would need besides the antenna, wires, and a splitter? Don't know if it helps at all but my main TV would be a Samsung DLP5063w.
Thanks.

Outdoor mounting will improve your chances for success. However, your report suggests that an indoor antenna can work if your home's construction does not include signal blocking/reflecting materials.

Several similar antennas to consider, RCA ANT-751, Channel Master CM-2016 and Antennacraft HBU-11 or HBU-22.

A passive splitter such as the Ideal 85-133 or 85-333 and reasonable lengths of coax cable should be able to deliver enough signal to three sets without amplification.

Your older Samsung probably doesn't have a digital tuner, it's pretty old. You'll need to check into that as I could not locate specifications for the model # you gave. Even if it happens to have one, it will be quite primitive and very finicky about the signals it requires for reliable reception.
