New to OTA, need guidance picking antenna

Hi All,

Aaron here, newbie with OTA.

I am in the need of guidance in picking the right antenna for our home as we are finally cutting the cable. We are keeping high speed internet of course. Netflix streaming rocks!

Here is my TV Fool assessment:

Single story raised ranch home. I would prefer a roof top antenna as I would like to pick up as many channels as I can. We are in a rural area. Antenna will be approximately 15-18 feet off the ground. There is a mounting bracket from a Direct TV dish lag screwed to my roof. I also have the pole for the bracket and am hoping to use to mount the antenna. Running cable to one TV for right now approximately 40ft from antenna. A second TV may be connected to it as well but will be only 20 feet from antenna.

Trees surround my house and the landscape is quite hilly but hopefully wont be an issue. Do I need a set top box for my TV to display the channels?

Thank you in advance. I appreciate it.

Aaron
