So I promised my wife that I would have her channel ready in time for the new season of her favorite show. I put together a "coat hanger antenna" (yes I know I'm cheap) and I mounted it in my attic the day of the show. Let’s just say she wasn’t very happy with me as her station (NBC on 4.1) did not get picked up and she missed the premiere.
I aimed it at the cluster of stations NW of me and I am able to pick up some stations but not all of them.
Here is an screen shot from TV Fool of the TV Signal Analysis from my house:

At this point I am ready to spend some money and buy an antenna but my knowledge on the topic is very limited. I know some antennas would work better for my application than others so if anyone can chime in on a particular product they would recommend I would really appreciate it. I’m interested in picking up most/all the stations in the cluster NW of me if possible.
Some background info:
- The antenna has to be mounted in the attic (big access, lots of room)
- Besides the roof no other obstacles in the way
- About 50 feet of RG6 coax between the antenna and TV
- Signal will be going to one TV
