dropping cable, woohoo!

I'm working at dropping cable.

Here is my tv signal results link
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0b863fc08f6514

I have 3 TV's on 2 different floors. My best plan so far is to mount an antenna in the attic (asphalt shingles). The homeowners association here does not allow outside antennas. I'll run a RG59 coax cable from the antenna down to the basement where I'll hook into the existing coax which was used for cable tv. The coax splits into 4 rooms. I will be completely disconnecting from cable service.

I like this antenna and plan on purchasing it unless advised otherwise: RCA ANT751R Outdoor Antenna. I can't find any info as to whether is directional or multi-directional, but it got really high reviews on Amazon and it's inexpensive.

From my map it appears I have signals coming from 2 different directions. Will I need two antennas?

Does anyone see problems with this? Am I missing something? Is there a better way to do this. Will I need a signal amp?

Thanks so much in advance!

Greg
