I am so tired of paying $30 a month just to receive my local channels in Austin, Texas. Time to cut the cord!
But - I am clueless. I have no idea what all that antenna lingo (gain, noise margin, multipath, etc.) means, and I really don't want to have to learn. I just want to buy an antenna that will work for our family.
Here is our home's report:

The only stations we truly MUST receive are the top six, which all transmit from the same general area on an Austin hilltop about 7 miles away. We really, really do want to receive the one VHF channel - that's important to us.
We have a one-story ranch home with brick facing on three sides; the remaining side, which faces the Austin antenna farm, is wood siding.
There is a large tree in our neighbor's yard directly in the path of the transmitters. It's about 50 feet tall and about 150 feet away. There are other smaller trees scattered about in the area, but not so tall, and not directly in the way.
Other info: We don't mind having an outdoor, attic, or indoor installation. Our TV cannot be placed near the window or near the side of the house that is in line with the transmitters. Our attic is not lined with radiant barrier, and there is one layer of asphalt shingles on the roof.
Could you recommend a good antenna for our situation?
Thanks!
