Can't see the Forest from the trees

Thank you one and all for the help you give. It's a great service.

I am new to this technical area and would appreciate any help that I can get answering following two questions.

I am in a forested area (http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...e1c64db921d1fb or http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...e1c65eb4d1087c). Before the digital change with a roof mounted antenna I was able to get a few OTA stations. To accommodate the change to digital I need to update things which I am willing to do if I can use OTA broadcasting. My concern is if being basically in a forest (trees are 50 to 100+ feet high) with the digital sensitivity to line of sight will prevent me from being able to get any reception (roof mount antenna is assumed). I do have an oscilloscope if there is any way to use it for measuring the signal strength.

The second question, if the signal strength should be ok, what would be a good hardware set-up to use.

Thanks again for filling the information void in this area.
