If this was my choice, I would use a Winegard HD-7082 antenna mounted as high on your roof as practical, and include a rotator, so that you can turn the antenna between the Lancaster and Philly channels. I would also include a preamplifier, such as an AntennasDirect PA18. This combination will allow you access to the Phily and Lancaster stations. Of course, if you aim solely at Philly, you will get the major network stations.

Thanks, Tigerbangs! I'm primarily interested in the Philly stations, but I think I'd include a rotator and amplifier anyway to ensure I can get it pointed in the right direction and get a clear signal.
