Help in Lake Tahoe

Hi,

i live at 7,130' in the mountains of Lake Tahoe. The snowpack at my house was over 14' this winter - had a slab avalanche take out our Direct TV Dish which was on a 12' pole! While it sounds funny, it could have resulted in a burial had my wife or I been out there on snowshoes brushing it off when it happened. That was the last straw for satellite for us. I'm trying to avoid an outdoor antenna because of the hassles of dealing with it in the winter - we also get frequent high winds here. I had my original Direct TV dish on my garage roof but had to give that up after my first winter - it was too dangerous to access when the snow got over 10'.

I'm planning on using a Silicon Dust HDHomeRun device as a receiver which will connect to an Apple TV through my wired LAN, so that gives me a bunch of flexibility on location in the house. I'm on a steep lot (35 to 40 Degrees) so calculating the distance above the ground is tricky. My garage is at street level on one side and you walk out over 40' down on the other side.

Here's my Report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...e6a4a1ca478082

All I want to get OTA are ABC / NBC / CBS. Can I get the channels I want to get with an indoor antenna and if so which antenna should I look at? Thanks.
