Hello, this is my first post here.
I've had Comcast limited basic cable - which consists of pretty much all local channels - for a few years, because I was able to get a better deal on Internet with it bundled. However, a few months ago, they started decrypting signals, so I had to use this awful little box that had no programmability and only output in SD. So, when I discovered that I could get rid of the cable, my total bill would be about $20 cheaper and almost everything I was receiving was available OTA, I decided to just get an antenna and will soon be dropping their cable service.
However, I've discovered that my area - Washington, PA - seems to be in a weird spot for digital TV signals. It's sort of in the middle of several different transmitters, but most are about 10-30 miles away. I live in an apartment, so mounting an outdoor antenna is out of the question, so I gave a shot to a cheap RCA flat antenna I found at Walmart. I was able to get one channel to come in - and not very well - in my bedroom and nothing elsewhere.
I ordered an RCA ANT1650 on Amazon, hoping the extra amplification might be able to at least get some of the closer signals. Has anyone here had any experience with this unit and do you think it'll actually work? Here is my coverage map:

I should add that I rarely even watch live TV, but would like to at least have a couple channels in case of emergencies or special occasions like New Years Eve. Really, as long as I can get one of the NBC affiliates in my area, I'll be happy.
