I live in the suburbs about 15-20 miles away from the TV transmitter towers. The terrain here is flat, so that probably helps with the reception.
Assembly was fairly easy. The pictures in the instruction were a little unclear, but it makes sense once you start piecing it together.
The hardest part was mounting it in the attic. This antenna is directional, so you have to face it towards the TV towers. The instructions give a website you can go to so you can determine which direction to point the antenna. You'll need a compass (i.e. your smartphone) to complete the installation. I did have a difficult time finding a good mounting spot due to the size of the antenna in a cramp attic space.
Once installed and hooked up, my channels receptions more than doubled. Before I could pickup around 20-30 channels using one of those flat, "leaf" type antennas mounted by the window. With this attic antenna, the channel count is now 50+ and all the channels I've watched have a strong signal.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm in Kenner, LA. Can this device get TNT, USA, TMC, A&E?

Those are (basic) cable channels. You cannot pick those channels up over the air with an antenna.

Looks like most are using this as an outdoor mounted antenna. Has anyone used it indoors? I see that it is very large, but the high ratings have me intrigued.

I use this in my attic and it works fine. I've also seen pictures of people mounting it on a wall or standing it up on a table. But of course, the higher you can mount it and the less obstructions you have, the better the reception.
