Experts,
I could use a recommendation on an antenna/splitter-amp setup to replace a lightning-fried former solution. My TVFool report is as follows:

I'd like to reliably pickup the major stations; ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and hopefully PBS for the kids, but I would also preferably like to mount the antenna in the attic, instead of the roof. Unfortunately this means aiming through either my roof shingles, or my neighbor's two story (I have a ranch). If forced to mount on the roof I will, but I've already been burned once (pun intended).
I'm also looking for a recommendation on how to split my signal between 8 locations throughout my home. I'm thinking 2 x 4-way splitters instead of 1 x 8-way so if one were to fail I would not be out of service, however that means another 2-way splitter between the antenna and the 4-ways. Thoughts and advice on whether these should be powered/amplified splitters, and what type/model splitters to look for is appreciated.
Oh, one last thing on the splitters. Is there a difference between CATV and DTV splitters? I've done a lot of shopping/reading online, and it seems like not all splitters can be used for both, but that just might be laziness in marketing.
Any help is much appreciated.
