Stations in red likely will require a pre amp and then you run the risk of overloading your gain for the stations in green and yellow. This could then backfire and leave you with substantially less local stations. Best to concentrate on obtaining a antenna to receive the stations in green and yellow and then if any stations in red come in, that is a bonus.
Since this is the case then the original recommendation by your local retailers might work out. You won't overload your tuner yet may have a shot at obtaining a signal or two in red.
