I have a small antenna in the garage (Best Buy) attic. I get over 60 channels with it. I use a small amp at the TV end. I ran a coax cable from the antenna down the conduit that contains the irrigation system's wire lead from the gutter into the irrigation box. I then have a splitter in the irrigation box that can feed as many outlets as I like. You will probably need an amp at the splitter or on each TV to ensure signal strength. Cost for antenna about $50 and each amp is about $20. I had the 50 feet of coax but it can get expensive to buy...measure the length you need carefully. Too much cable length means impedence problems that reduce the signal strength to each TV. Xfinity is currently charging $10/box/month...that adds up!
