I am actually in nyc/nj metro area..
I have done lots of work and experimenting..
Your question is asked by many..
Few truly understand how to receive good HDTV reception..
I Now get 76 HDTV stations from our area.
Getting stations even 65-70 miles away..
Stations from nyc..long island..Newark..
Even from northern nj and even conn..
Location you Are stuck with..
What you can change is height and antenna..
Even if installing indoors..
Get an Outdoor antenna..
They are stronger and higher gain antennas..
If you can mount outside..
Then get Directional not omni antenna..
Point directional antenna basically to Umpire state building..
If. You are willing and able..
Get a cheep RadioShack rotor for outdoor directional antenna..this way..you can benefit most in high gain directional antenna...simply by turning pointing antenna at will..to where reception of desired channel comes from..
So far..
I even got someone in south orange nj..to even reach channel 55

you might go to Radio Shack or your local electronics store and pick up a standard UHF/VHF outdoor Antenna and ask them if it recives hdtv beacuse some of them dont, althought the htdv ant. is going to cst ya alittle more in $ but its worth it, and with that ur going to need about 75 ft or so of coax cable @ 75ohms and make sure u ask them to help u get an adapter to convert from the 2 screws on the Antenna to the coax cable , the adapter is called a pig tail.... well I hope that this helps ya out
