Question Noob looking for advice

Ok, so I'll be ditching DirectTV in the next month or two once my contract is up and want to start planning out my antenna setup now so I won't have any downtime.

A little info about my house...
  • it's a single story sitting on a slab
  • it sits lower than most houses in the neighborhood
  • it's next to a lake
  • there are some tall (< or = to 40ft) trees around me, most being to the west/northwest

I've been looking at some of the Antennas Direct antennas like the DB8 or ClearStream4 or 5, but I'm not sure how much antenna I need or if those are decent ones to buy (reviews on good on Amazon).
As far as mounting goes, I was thinking about installing it in the attic (about 15-20ft above ground level) since I have a very high roof line.
The coax was already installed by the builder and has been working fine for DirectTV, so I guess I won't have to run much, if any new line.

My only TV: Vizio SV370XVT
Additional TVs may be hooked up in the future, but no more than 3 total.

I would like to pick up two of the three VHF channels as NBC is a major network and PBS...well who doesn't need public educational programs , the third is CBS which would be picked up by UHF anyways.

I've trolled the forums off and on for a month or so now, so I hope I gave most of the information you guys need. If I left something out, lmk and I'll post up!

TIA
