I tried a RS 15-1880 last night and was able to get 2 ABC channels (dropping in and out intermittently). I am about half way up the hill. I will try the Silver Sensor next since I don't want to push my luck trying to sneak a huge outdoor eyesore past my wife.
....at least not yet.
I don't think east is an option for me since I am on the west side of the hill in the middle. The hill is directly blocking anything from the east.

If not, I might suggest you try for some of the channels to your East (See Dswallow's post a few posts back). Do you have a compass? Knowing where you are in relation to the obstructions around you are key to making this work. I wouldn't rule out an indoor antenna; however, I'd be suprised if you could get anything without going outdoors and up! I just had to put a 30' pole in the ground to pickup Sutro from Cupertino. Now that I have...I couldn't be happier!!!
