Hi all,
This is my first post and also my first attempt into capturing OTA television. I have done a little research so far, but can't figure out a good antenna(s?) to use. Here is my tvfool report:

One thing I know will be a problem is the broadcast tower 2.5 miles away. My little research has found that I cannot use any power within my system. I am looking to receive the Buffalo and Toronto broadcast signals. These stations are nearly 180 degrees apart. If it is anyhow plausible, I want to ask if pointing an antenna in between the Hamilton (CITS, etc.) and Toronto stations would allow my to pick up a few from each market.
I will be locating the antenna on the peak of my 2 story house, this gives me me a very good sightline both SE and NW without immediate obstructions. I would like to run the Coax cable down to the ground, into the house, through a splitter to a TV and a DVR (TViX M6620n+).
Since this is my first installation, I have no clue on what specific accessories I would need, what type of coax I would need, and how to ground the antenna. Once the cable is in the house, it's fairly straightforward for me, but everything outside of the house is new territory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and my next post hopefully won't be as long winded. The Buffalo and Toronto stations are listed below.
Buffalo: CW, PBS, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, and WBBZ(in case of a Bills game broadcasting on this channel)
Toronto: CICA, CFTO, etc.
