According to the tvfool report, this location is getting lots of strong TV signals from a few different directions (mostly north and south-east). With signals this strong, it doesn't require a very powerful antenna to get them.
However, I wouldn't recommend getting the antenna from ebay. From what I've heard, the antenna works (not great, just so-so), but the build quality is not there. There have been reports that the built-in rotator dies after about 1 year. I also suspect that the built-in signal amplifier is low quality (probably has a high noise figure and is prone to signal overload in the presence of strong signals).
Since you have signals coming from different directions and since they are strong, but not too strong, this appears to be a good place to use a Winegard MS-2000 or a Channel Master 3000A. There are omnidirectional antennas so you don't need to use an antenna rotator. They only work with medium-strong signals (can't be too strong and can't be too weak), and this location has lots of signals around that range. The amps from either Winegard or Channel Master should be at least as good as (and probably better than) the amp in that ebay antenna.
Some places include some RG59 cable with these antennas. RG6 cable is better (more rugged, better shielding, readily available almost everywhere), so if you're going to go through the trouble of pulling cable through a house, I'd recommend using RG6 instead of RG59.
