I need help selecting an antenna. I would love to have an indoor antenna,but I don't know if it will work.

here is my info from Antennaweb:
* yellow - uhf KDKA-DT 2.1 CBS Pittsburgh PA 130° 15.8 25
* red - uhf WCWB-DT 22.1 WB Pittsburgh PA 129° 16.3 42
* red - uhf WPXI-DT 11.1 NBC Pittsburgh PA 135° 17.6 48
* blue - uhf WQED-DT 13.3 PBS PITTSBURGH PA 134° 20.0 38
* blue - uhf WPGH-DT 53.1 FOX Pittsburgh PA 129° 16.3 43

Could you guys please make a recommendation.

Thanks for all your help.

Off the top of my head are Radio Shack, Winegard, Antennacraft and ChannelMaster. All are good reliable brands and any of their 50-75 mile UHF/VHF combo antennas with good coax cable should do the trick.
Whatever you do don't get a TERK indoor TV antenna or one of those "plug into the electrical outlet whole house antenna", they are junk.
You may want to get a rotor for the antenna if the transmitters aren't in a centralized location.

Welcome to HDTVoice!

Antennaweb's recommendation is for a medium directional with an amp. No indoor antenna for you :(

Additionally you can check with www.antennasdirect.com. You might give the DB4 a try without the amp to start with.

Did you use your full address with www.antennaweb.org ? Zipcode only is not as accurate.
