In Reply to: TV antenna: I'm going for the throat. posted by Hepcat on August 09, 2004 at 11:33:31:
In my area all over-the-air HDTV broadcasts are on UHF channels so the antenna doesn't have to be a big monster VHF/UHF combo yagi.... a smaller UHF-only antenna is all I use. I guess I'm lucky too because the low-power HD broadcast towers are only 15-miles from me on the high rise buildings in Denver. The broadcast towers will relocate to a permanent mountain top location in a couple years and run full-power. I've been told that a set of rabbit ears indoors will pull in crystal clear signals when that happens.Outdoor Cheapo Radio Shack UHF Yagi for HD / DTV

Follow Ups:
5 FM tuners/receivers throughout the house etc.I'm in west Georgia getting my HD signals from Atlanta and I am sorta behind a small hill or rise.
I use the rotator to occasionally pick up stations in three states - especially some college football broadcasts.
Even though I'm on cable and Dish satellite and XM radio, I should have replaced my antenna before now. HDTV just gave me reason to bitch and get on with it. : * )
Hey, gotta have that FM DX capability too! I'm not able to put up a large antenna 'cuz the neighbors will problably complain to the HOA. I have a vertical whip on the back yard deck for my FM but again the broadcasters are only a few miles away and line-of-sight. Good luck with the monster yagi setup! HDTV is incredible and worth it... whatever it takes, do it!
