Hello and welcome!

I agree with Tower Guy. An indoor antenna can work for the top 5 channels in your list, but PBS will require an attic antenna or better.

Furthermore, the antenna you use must have high-VHF capability to pick up WTOC (CBS, ch 11) and WVAN (PBS, ch 9). Any antenna with respectable gain in VHF in going to be too big for a living room installation.

If you go with a rooftop installation, the Antennacraft HBU-22 should be good enough. If you go with an attic installation, I'd recommend going up one size to make up for the more lossy/multipath-laden attic environment. That would mean the Antennacraft HBU-33 or Winegard HD7694P.
