With ATSC 1.0 channels this is generally true, with some exceptions, but ATSC 3.0 channels use OFDM to circumvent a lot of interference. There’s no real way of knowing whether or not it would work but Amazon has a 30-day return policy.

I know that not everywhere is going to be within 50 miles of a broadcasting tower, but it doesn’t hurt to check. https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html
