Which indoor antenna is the best?

Hi, I live in Queens, New York, about 15 miles from the tv tower. My only choice is indoor antenna. So, which indoor HD antenna would you recommend. Thank You.

Indoor antennas are a crapshoot, at best: in a city environment, you have only a 50% chance of having one work for you. There aren't ant indoor antennas that work well for VHF, and you will have 3 VHF stations in February

Well, there are still some indoor antennas that are better than the others. And if you buy the right model you increase the chances of getting a good reception. And if you buy a crappy one, then your chances will be far below 50%.

IMO, the best indoors are DB2 and SS-3000. Avoid TV-55 and the gimmicks like the "picture frame" antenna. This is a total waste of money
