The Terk HDTVi will be slightly directional. That could help overcome some of the multipath I suspect you will be faced with.
This is correct. When I lived two miles north of downtown KC I made the mistake of buying a small indoor antenna with a amp. I experienced overload on many signals and had to instead use a small outdoor antenna in my apartment to reduce the overload. The Silver Sensor may work for you if you don't have a multipath rich environment. In my case that antenna worked better than the antenna with the pre amp in it but the outdoor antenna located in the apartment was better at reducing multipath.
