Looking for an "Indoor" Longrange UHF/VHF antenna

[lesstechguy]

I want to drop cable completely. My reception with the antenna I have now is decent. It picks up at least 16 channels. Those channels are within a 30 mile range. If I move the antenna around, it'll pick up a few others. But that causes it to loose some of the original 16.

I would like to find a good "Indoor" UHF/VHF antenna with a range of 40-50+ miles?
I've been to Tvfool & AntennaPoint.

What antenna(s) so I give a try? It has to be indoors because I live in an apartment.
I'm trying to grab signals from Amsterdam, Cobleskill, and Windham, NY.

IE:
Troy, NY to Amsterdam, NY (35-40 miles) which broadcasts ION
Troy, NY to Cobleskill, NY (45-50 miles) which broadcasts WYBN FYI they also carry Retro TV
Troy, NY to Windham, NY (40 miles) which broadcasts WYBN



How about the ClearStream2V LongRange UHF/VHF Antenna. Would that work for me?
Could I mount it this way?

I'd appreciate all the help you can give me.
Thx

Not sure any antenna will work but you need an omnidirectional antenna. Try one of the Channel Master indoor antennas. If you can tolerate a big outdoor antenna try on of those.
