Completely new to all this. Station Signal Profile here http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d81a39122f55b9b

All important channels to be in green. I am in Roseville, CA near Sacramento.

Looking to see if I can get away with indoor antenna only for right now. Thanks for your help.

There seems to be plenty of signal at your location for an indoor antenna. However, if there's lots of metal in the walls, like to support stucco, then all bets are off. Try the Terk HDTVi, which has integrated rabbit ears. You need those for PBS and ABC, as they are on high-VHF channels (look at the Real Channel column). Do NOT buy an amplified antenna, as you will be throwing money away on something you don't need.

If you can only find the HDTVa, you can disable the amplifier, but you have to leave the unit plugged in.
