Recommendation for Indoor Antenna

[fistfullofbeer]

I am in a fairly Unique situation (or so I believe).

I got a new LCD TV for Christmas and would like to get its worth by getting some HDTV channels. Unfortunately, both DTV and Dish told me that I have no LOS to their HDTV satellites cos of the tall trees on the properties adjacent to us. Our Cable service here is horrible so that is not really an option.

I am looking to purchase an antenna so that I can make the most of my situation. I would like to get an outdoor antenna but unfortunately that is something that my Ms. is having fits about .. . She does not want an ugly antenna sticking out of our house. Its a fight I am fighting but its a losing battle ... . The only options I have left is getting an Indoor antenna or one for the Attic. The Channels I can get as per Antennaweb are:

Do you guys have any suggestions .. . Any indoor/attic antenna that is amplified or even an outdoor antenna that may by the smallest of chances appeal to the Ms. and help me get most of the channels clearly?

Any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Looks like you are 22 miles or closer to the Seattle towers and they are all at 153 degrees except PBS at 148 degrees. Go get yourself the U-75R at Radio Shack and stick it up in the attic facing somewhere between 153 and 148 and see what you get.

Since these are all UHF stations, I would suggest the Channel Master 4228. It's about a square yard, not so ugly as the boom type antennas. Here is a picture of it to show to the wife:http://www.pctinternational.com/channelmaster/antennas_outdoor_uhf.html
Good luck!
