The San Diego market is often a 'two-antenna-market' due to the KFMB and KGTV transmitters location.

It looks as if you're blocked by terrain so yes, an outdoor antenna is going to be far more realistic than an attic or set top antenna.

I'd suggest the Antennas Direct 91XG pointed south, and an Antennacraft Y10713 pointed west.

You can certainly drive multiple TV sets if you insert a splitter in the down-lead. Use a splitter with the same number of output ports as tuners to be connected. You'll also benefit from a preamplifier at the antenna, I'd opt for an RCA TVPRAMP1R which has separate inputs for each of the above antennas... Or use the Antennas Direct 'Juice' preamp and their separate UHF/VHF combiner (EU385CF).

(The Antennacraft product line may be disappearing completely due to the Radio Shack/Antennacraft bankruptcy... The next best options for the Y10713 are either very large all channel units that cost quite a bit more, or they are less capable and may be inadequate in the conditions depicted in your report. I'd snatch a Y10713 soon.)
