You don't need a large antenna, but the metal roof will reflect and block signals, making the attic a difficult or impossible mounting location.

The RCA ANT-751 or Antennacraft HBU-11 would do well, mounted on the roof or a wall. Point at about 28° per a compass, while avoiding trees, buildings and other obstructions.

If you have several TVs to connect, try using just a passive splitter. If you have trouble with some of the weaker signals you can add a CM-3410 distribution amplifier between the antenna and splitter.
