Another install help request - Ottawa Area

Hey everyone,

Here's yet another help request for a new install.

We are dropping our cable provider for an internet only set-up, with an antenna set-up.

Our television set is in the basement, and we are thinking of mounting an antenna either on the roof, or in the attic, depending on what is required for each. I've approximated 20 feet height for the roof at its peak, though I'm not sure how precise this measurement is yet, it's possibly closer to 30 at its peak. 20 makes more sense for the attic. I was looking at the RCA ANT751, as it seems to be getting good reviews and is fairly cheap.

In any case, here is the signal analysis report:

We seem to be getting two streams of channels from opposite directions, and it makes me wonder if the ANT751 is the appropriate choice for it. Also, do you guys think an attic setup would suffice? I don't really mind doing a roof setup either. I'm pretty handy, and will be able to install myself, but I am just unsure as to what hardware to use (wiring, mounting, antenna itself, boosters, etc.).

Any help is appreciated, thank you.
