"paulc"
OTA and satellite are not options because ???
tall buildings, poor signal?
apartments with no access to external antennas?
The broadcast signals are there, but I can see how in a dense city multi-path and signal reflections would make reception very bad.
The "magic distance" is about a 50 mile radius around a urban center for OTA reception. Distances up to 90 miles or so are possible with high gain antenna mounted on tall masts or towers, but this is trial and error and very unpredictable.
But ultimately you are correct: Location, location, location
