Unfortunately... an indoor antenna will probably not suffice.

You can try a Zenith Silver Sensor:

Or...

I wouldn't expect any miracles...

one more question Ratman. I'm thinking of getting this "One" (http://www.starkelectronic.com/cm2001.htm) sense most of my local channels are under 30miles "FOR SUBURBAN RANGE = 30 Mi. UHF AND 45 Mi. VHF " what do you think and anybody else?

Nah...
Are you looking for only digital channels (for HD) or analog also?

digital channels.

Well, you only have 3 digitals listed according to antennaweb.
One is high-band VHF.
Max distance 24 miles.
Two channels at 321 degrees, one at 276. That's a ~50 degree spread. Not good.

I'd say, try the radio shack indoor and return it if it doesn't work out.

If it doesn't, your best bet is a Channel Master 4228 and probably a rotor. (yes, it's UHF only, but works well with high band VHF).

Thanks Ratman on the info. I'll give the radio shack a try first see what happens
if not i'll go with 4228 and rotor. thanks
