or
- Best performance among amplified flat antennas in the 50 mile range category [NOTE: Location, obstructions, and building materials effect reception]
- Sure Grip Technology guarantees the easiest installation of any indoor antenna available. Paintable surface - match your wall, Furniture, or accent Color for custom fit. Lifetime Warranty
- The 20Db in-line amplifier system provides added range and maximum signal reception for more channels. Plug into your TV, Scan for channels, watch TV
- Multi-directional element and double-sided Black or white design: no aiming necessary and comes with 12ft of high performance coaxial cable
- Indoor installations can be problematic for two reasons. First, the antenna will be lower than a roof-mounted installation, often limiting line-of-sight. Second, the digital signal is weakened by every wall the signal must pass through. This is why we recommend placing your indoor antenna as close to a window as possible (again, the higher, the better).

I can only get channel 7 and 13 consistently, and then all the random ones. The new TV will get channel 4 sometimes too. We're using this one and tried this one with the same results.
Honestly, so little football is aired locally anymore you're probably going to have to find other means to watch. Thursday night games were on Twitter last year, and Sunday Night games were free from (I think) NBC. A couple of people mentioned Sling, but PS Vue is rated better. It works decently well as long as you're not using the Fire Stick, and you can access directly through ESPN and some other apps.
I am not terribly far from Coney Island across from the south side of prospect park with very a very narrow line of sight over/through buildings towards Manhattan on the 6th floor (so between the elevation and building height arguably a good position) and after extensive research I bought one of these. I get pretty much every channel available in a 50 mile radius. But as others said you really wont know what your going to get till you try it. From my research it seemed as if this antenna works especially good in NYC. Not sure if it really matters or not about the type or brand but this is the only one I ever tested and it works very well. A powered 'booster' comes with it, but I never had to use it. If you are looking for DVR functionality also look into Tablo and HD Homerun. As another poster said, tfvool is a good resource for figuring out where to place the antenna to get the best line of sight.

When it was positioned in our loft it was facing out a window to the north. Now it's on the first floor window facing the south. The channels that are having issues are south of us.
