   The transmitters could be between you and the city only
20 miles from you, you need to try a few set top antennas
before you say they can't work.
   You don't mention if there are any VHF stations or even
low "V's" that would need special consideration.
   For UHF and high VHF only in one direction a 4 bay
"bow tie" in front of a screen can't be beat.

                              an unwanted side effect.
