Confused First Timer in NYC, want to install outdoor roof antenna, help

Hello, never done this before please help. I would like to install an outdoor antenna but I don't know anything about this stuff. I saw the Clearstream 2 at BJ's but need advice before I buy the wrong products. I want to have as many channels as possible with the best signal. I am using a Samsung LCD TV. I also have a Tivax Digital TV Converter STB-T8 that my friend gave me. If I can afford it, I may get the Channel Master DVR someday. The most important channels are the mainstream ones like, CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, PIX11, PBS, UPN9, etc.

I live on the top floor at 979 Grant Ave, Bronx, NY 10456 in a 5 story apartment building. The roof top is about 55 feet above ground level. I want to connect three TVs to the antenna. The most important, is my bedroom which is almost directly below where the antenna will be mounted. My TV from the antenna shouldn't need more than 30 feet of cable. The other two TVs shouldn't need more than 70 feet of cable from my bedroom.

Questions:
1.) Which antennas do you recommend are the best?
2.) What location/intersection should I be aiming the antenna for.
3.) Will I need some sort of amplifier/preamplifier?
4.) any other info/advice??

Thank you so much. Sorry if I was confusing or not clear.
