You are missing so much by using what you have proposed! Not only do you have the NYC channels available to you, but you also have the Philadelphia stations easily available.

The Winegard HD-8200U is an excellent antenna, but it's MUCH too big to be placed in most attics: it really belongs on the roof, outdoors where it is is unimpeded by house structure, because the Philly stations lie in a different direction, you should really include a rotator so the antenna can be turned to see those stations, too, and I would also include a high-input preamplifier like a Winegard HDP-269 preamplifier, which won't overload on the couple of very strong local stations available to you. many of the Philly stations are stronger in your location than are their NYC counterparts.

if you install this recommended combination, you'll see not only all of the NYC and NJ stations clearly, but all of the Philly stations as well: it makes sense to do it properly, as you have so much over-the-air available to you!
