When I looked at the HD over the air maps, I was discouraged too. I purchased the Winegard FL5500A FlatWave Amplified Razor Thin HDTV Indoor Antenna a couple months ago. It has a built in amplifier that you plug in to a regular power outlet which seems to make a ton of difference. We live on the 2nd floor in the northeast part of Athens and have it mounted on a west facing window that has a pretty clear view to the west - not many obstructions. We get all of the major networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, CW) except NBC. We also get WPCH (Peachtree TV), WATL (My ATL), Univision, and some bible channels. We don't get PBS either for some reason. Obviously YMMV but short of having an antenna outdoors this is about as good as it gets. The Mohu Leaf is also a very highly rated indoor antenna but I don't have any experience with it. Good luck!
I'm in Commerce, and using this antenna (not kidding) mounted in the attic to pick up ABC and GPB:

It's a cheap plastic piece of junk thing but it works. I primarily have it pointed toward ABC tho. The other Atlanta channels are about 5 degrees of from ABC I think, so this antenna can't get them, and I haven't gotten around to messing with it more.
I'd like to get this one or one like it to pull in from two different directions and get everything, but I haven't gotten around to testing the current setup to see if it'd be worth it:

Anyway, there's various sites where you can check to see what your chances are to pull in some channels. On mobile and can't remember if the top of my head.
I live in NW Athens. I have a ClearStream 2V. I can pick up Channel 2 ABC, but it is choppy. Fox 5 comes in about once a week, extremely choppy.
Other non-mainstream that come in:
I might get an antenna amplifier to see if I can get Abc and Fox to come in better. If you want to try this, you really need to "go big or go home" as they say. Since I got my antenna for only $10 this is it for me. You need an even bigger antenna that I have to get Atlanta stations.
Also, does anyone know of someone who installs roof antennas? My roof is a little too steep for my comfort.

I have one of these guys. Very cheap and works really well. I use it at home after the kitchen I used to work in had them for us to sharpen knives with.
