Talking Help in choosing antenna and point to the right direction

First off, I want to say thank you for everybody that helps out.

I have read some of the posts but I'm still lost. My location is below:

I bought a ClearStream 2 but I haven't been serious in using it since I have been receiving SD channels through my cable because I have internet from Comcast but I recently lost them about two weeks ago. So, in the last two weeks, I have gone through some posts and am now pointing at roughtly 95 degrees (according to my Android's app - Smart Compass) because this is where I'm getting good signals to receive CW and FOX. According to my Tivo Premiere, I am receiving CW at about 55 signal strength and the rest below 45. To me, this translates to one channel (CW) is perfect and the rest are getting some to a lot of pixelation and interrupted signals.

I am willing to buy another antenna or a pre-amp/amp but I cannot mount it on the roof due to HOA/renting rules. I would like to receive these channels, in the order of importance, perfectly or as perfect as it can get - CW, FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC.

I was looking into buying Winegard 7898 but the boom length is too long to fit into my attic. There's also a Fry's Electronics nearby that sells a Channel Master 2020 and Winegard 7897.

So after the long-winded explanation, here's my primary questions:
1) What antenna and/or amp should I buy? I would like to spend less than $200 please.
2) Am I correct in pointing at 95 degrees?

Thanks again for reading and/or replying.
