Hi - I just moved in to an apartment in Santa Clara, CA. I'm on the second floor of a 4 floor building with my only outward facing wall facing North. Luckily, it seems most channels are North of me. Here is a TV fool report:

I have this antenna already:
http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/antennas/?sku=ANT111F and with careful placement I can get some channels, but not a ton. Really I'd be stoked if I could just get the major networks - ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW)
I have a building straight North of me, that is at least 15 feet taller than my apartment (ie shorter than my 4 story building, but the roof is above me). I could place an antenna outdoors fairly easily, though I'd prefer something not too huge so as not to piss off the HOA. I have a patio that might be perfect for it.
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Edit: I'm not sure if this is useful, but this is all the channels I can get at the moment. I should note that this feels like a lot more than normal so I'll check again tonight to see if any of these have disappeared.
