Philly stations are moderately strong in your area, and can easily be received with a good all-channel antenna. Since WPVI operates on low-band channel 6, you need all channel VHF as well as UHF reception from an antenna. I would recommend a Winegard HD-7082p or a Channel Master Crossfire 3679 aimed at the Roxborough towers, which are roughly 95 degrees from you location as measured by a compass. If you want to see the Harrisburg-Lancaster stations, you can add a rotator to the antenna, like a Channel Master 9521a or an AntennaCraft TDP-2, which will allow you to turn the antenna to see those stations.

Use good quality RG-6u coaxial cable in your installation, and be sure to ground the coax cable where it enters your house: all of the Philly stations will come in just fine when you do.
