From what I have been reading...Your issue is ...."I just want an antenna so I can enjoy my new TV watching the superbowl in HD and I do not want to spend alot of money and can not justify it right now (since I spent so much on the new TV.) This is putting alot of stress on me because I have to do something real fast since the game is only a few weeks away.
Let me help you put it into perspective.
Your market has low channel vhf...you have other tv's in the house that are not digital and it would be nice to get get analog on those during the transition to 2009...you are 25-30 miles from the towers...there are some digital in the red zone..most of stations are in one direction... gets windy there...have second thoughts of putting an antenna outside...dont want to spend alot of money...may need to spend more money for installation...not sure if the antenna will work in the attic...but that is his direction ...wants an inexpensive alternative so he can watch the supperbowl in a few weeks in the interim.
I have to go to work right now...let's try to help this gentleman out. I will give it some thought and post later. First thought...return the radio shack small antenna ..leaning toward the winegard HD7084P. as opposed to the cm-4228 right now...even though its a less expensive alternative...thinking long term and one time solution with no reworks later.
Visited Okahoma city a few years ago doing some consulting work...experienced one of those storms you are thinking about...skies get real dark...real windy...nasty.
