Roof Antenna Install

I'm looking to drop my Dish service and go exclusively with OTA soon. I've been devouring as much information as possible from your posts here, but I thought some experts could help out with my specific situation:

I'm able to pick up CBS, ABC, FOX, and a few minors stations pretty clearly with a cheap indoor antenna. By the looks of my report, do you think I'd be able to pick up NBC and CW with a rooftop antenna? I think all of my stations are in roughly the same direction (within 3 deg), but I'm not an expert with reading the report.

Have most of you here installed your own antennas on the roof or do most opt for professional installation? I'm fairly tech savvy and I've dealt with my cables outside before to fix things, but I've never done a full antenna installation. Is there a detailed tutorial you would recommend for someone trying it for the first time? Will I be able to hook the coax directly to my outside cable box and split it through 3 TVs in my house?

Any specific equipment recommendations you would have for my situation?

Thanks for any expertise you can provide!
