Need your location to help, really depends on where you are located and where the single is coming from.

One of the best HD antenna's is the CM4228. It is a UHF antenna but will pick up VHF stations from channel eight on up.

yes,yes,and yes

its a good indoor antenna,but just go to ratshack and buy a regular outdoor 4' vhf/uhf/fm antenna.in your area it should work fine.if you need to rotate it,buy a rotor for it as well.bout 100 bucks.i got mine out of the attic of one of the buildings i work in.it dates back to 1973,and still works fine.i live in va and i dont have the channel line up you have,but i get most of my channels great in hd.my antenna is attached to an old dtv roof mount 2 feet above the gutterline of my home.look on google for hd antennas for more options,but you cant beat free old school.

You live close to the towers and if in a flat area and miminum structures between you and the towers, you might be able to get most of the channels with an old rabbitear/UHF indoor antenna. If not, a friend of mine has a rat shack omni-directional antenna in the attic which works well for him.

I'm in a valley with too much multi-path (same signal bouncing off multiple hills/structures) and needed a CM 4228 with a rotator to focus on one path.
