Don't overthink this.
Electron has given you excellent advice. The parabolic reflecting dish for a satellite antenna is required because it is designed to receive extremely weak signals. You can receive most of your Boston stations with a set of rabbit ears and a UHF loop.

Yes. However, this is an issue with weak signals.
Electron has recommended antennas that are more than up to the task of providing stable signals to your TV.

Electron, why 145 degrees?

The 145° direction is a good compromise direction that will ensure that you receive ample signal strength from Boston while allowing you to receive weaker signals from New Hampshire.
