  As far as I knew the HDTV broadcast antennae in NYC was on top of the WTC, so it's unlikey you'll get anything over the air unless they've managed to transfer the broadcast to another site.

  check out this site: http://www.antennaweb.org

  on the menu click "choose an antenna"

  punch in your location and they will tell you who is broadcasting over the airwaves, what kind of antenna you'll need, and which direction to aim it.

  i would imagine that the buildings will be a big problem, unless you can get something on the roof...

    Thanks, that's very helpful.

    One question. Regarding the roof, do these work as lines of sight, or are they like the old T.V. antennas? It sounds like line of sight based on your roof comment...

      yep, the digital broadcasts are Ultra High Frequency, which pretty much means "line of sight". hills and buildings are a problem. since you are probably very close to the transmitting antennas, you may be able to use an omni-directional antenna.

      i'd be interested if you would post your observations--

        It's going to be a while till I test this out, but if I learn anything I'll definitely post it.

        Thanks alot.

  Check out http://www.fcc.gov/dtv/

  They have a list of stations by location. I'm not sure how easy they are to pick up, etc.
