[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 508955, member: 24160"] For an indoor antenna - I have had the best success with [URL="http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Philips-Silver-Sensor-Indoor-HDTV-Antenna-PHDTV1/sem/rpsm/oid/158311/catOid/-12886/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do"]this type[/URL] of antenna. Have tried many other indoor antennas in the $80-$150 range, none were as good as this cheapo. However, this antenna is UHF only. Most digital broadcasts are on the UHF band. However, look at your list from antennaweb and see if you have any VHF stations you want or not. Only one is VHF in my location, all others are UHF. This cheapo indoor antenna is also directional, and you will need to be able to point it at the broadcast towers. I have not tried the antennas that attach to the satellite dish. Have heard good and bad reviews on them. If you buy from Radio Shack, their policy on returning is very good. If you are in an apartment complex and go to mounting a rooftop style antenna on your patio - be warned, they may make you take it down. [/QUOTE]
