WHP is on UHF, WHTM is on VHF. WHP is 9 db stronger than WHTM. The Philips antenna does better on UHF than VHF. You can't use an amplified antenna, WPMT is too strong.

The best solution is a roof antenna. If you want to continue playing with an indoor antenna, consider the Terk HDTVi, but be prepared for hours of adjusting, scanning and tweaking.
