Based on the shape of the Mohu Sky product, one can reasonably deduce that it is likely just a basic dipole antenna that would offer basic coverage of the UHF and part of the VHF band... little more than a weatherized version of a set top 'rabbit-ear' style antenna. The amplifier is of little use if there is no long cable run or splitting loss to deal with. The built in amplifier does not add to the inherent reception ability of the antenna.

If I was trying to achieve maximum reception of all the available NYC stations, I'd mount a Winegard HD7084P outside with as clear a view to the west as I could find.
