It is time for some cutbacks, so I'm planning to install an OTA antenna and ditch Dish Network. Below is a link to my report based on address. I ran the report at 15 feet above ground level; however, thinking I can get at least 5 more feet. I need to measure to be precise.

I'm planning to install in my attic. Installing outdoors isn't an option for me unless I install behind the house and below roof line. Based on azimuths it looks like I would then be pointing back through my roof, which would have me going through two layers instead of just one if in the attic (unless I'm missing other aspects of it being outdoors). I also can get better elevation in the attic in my case. My roof construction is wood with asphalt shingles.
I was planning to run a coax from the antenna in attic down outside my house to a point to where I can split to run to 4-5 rooms in my house. Is there other equipment I would need to install anywhere along the path for my case (anywhere from attic all the way to TVs)?
My primary goal was just to get some network stations (FOX, NBC, CBS, and ABC). However, of course while purchasing and installing antenna I would rather go ahead and take advantage of as many channels as I can as long as they seem worthwhile. Although I understand that "worthwhile" depends on my particular interests. That is another area I could use some help. That is, what are some of these other channels that I can possibly pick up in my location?
Comments/suggestions on an antenna to purchase?
Hopefully I've covered everything for now. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
