This week the local cable provider decided to encrypt all basic channels, so I think it's time to start shopping for an antenna.
My TvFool report:

For simplicity I would like to install an antenna in the attic and use the existing cabling. There is one run up there that I could splice then re-configure the splitter where the cable comes in from outside at the panel. This would also be something I could do myself.
I am open to a roof install if that would be worth the extra effort (would have to be professionally done).
This will mostly be going to one TV (Panasonic VT60), but would ideally be connected to 2 additional sets (LCD in the bedroom, with the attic run, and a small LCD in the basement). All of these are currently connected through the splitter at the panel.
I imagine I will need an amp give the distance of the runs.
A local seller quoted $425 to install a Focus 8-bay antenna, but I can't find much info on that antenna and don't know if it's appropriate.
I'd rather avoid clones and am looking to purchase a quality antenna, but I really don't know what I need.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
