Ok you may not be able to use an outdoor antenna but you can use a antennas direct db2 or bd 4 and place it on the wall or behind the tv this will give you the best. also you could put a antenna craft u8000 8 bay in an attic or in a upstairs room this would give the best at 45 miles. those that say you need a outdoor antenna are going by the distance in miles, you would get the best reception with an outdoor, also fcc states that if it is required to recive signals that you cannot be denied the right to do so.
