Antenna Suggestions for Attic

I am looking to install an attic antenna to deliver reception to 2 TV's.

I have read a lot on line that has just let to confusion- do I need a preamplifier? Rotator? Directional Antenna? Medium Directional? etc etc.

I am looking for a recommendation for what exactly I need to purchase in order to obtain the major network channels. I currently have an indoor antenna that picks up all channels but CBS and ABC.

Here is the link to my signal analysis.

If you opt for a single antenna, you'll need a rotator. In the attic, you'll want to use a larger antenna to overcome the attenuation and reflection caused by the building construction. A Winegard HD7696P or Antennacraft HBU-55 for example.

Outside, in the clear, a Winegard HD7694P would do well.

Given two TV's, some people opt to install two independent antennas. One for each TV to avoid the conflict of which way to aim the antenna.
