The difficulty with channel 9, as well as 7 & 12 in the Denver area, is rooted in those station's decisions to remain on VHF channels as digital broadcasters. VHF reception has certain disadvantages, especially for an indoor antenna user. These include lower power levels (poorer building penetration), longer wavelengths (reception elements must be physically longer), and elevated interior background electrical noise levels. Ironically, it's sometimes the TV set itself that creates the electrical noise that causes the problems!
The ClearStream 2V, also available at Best Buy, would be our recommended antenna for your area, whether indoors or outdoors. Indoor usage requires a tolerance for its physical size (the VHF elements for channels 7-13 are almost 36" tip to tip) plus some creativity for mounting it indoors.
