As a starting point, the NYC based transmitters are going to require a full sized deep fringe antenna or combination of antennas. I'd opt for an Antennas Direct DB8E + Antennacraft Y10713. That allows you to optimize aim more precisely and provides maximum performance. You'll need a preamp that can handle a mix of strong and weak signals, the RCA TVPRAMP1R comes to mind... The newest preamp from Antennas Direct is the 'Juice', I have a sample in hand but have yet to compare it to my current preamp. The spec's say it would be a match to your situation, though it would require a separate UHF/VHF combiner and depending on what FM transmitters operate near you, an external FM trap (filter ) might be required as well.
I've been quite impressed with the very inexpensive HomeWorx tuners, I have the HW-150PVR which has several interface options for connecting to the TV/Monitor including HDMI.
