  That site will get you pointing in the right direction as far as where all the OTA digital channels are.

  Also, AVS forums have a section where local broadcasters/and their customers carry their own users thread, according to the area they live. This is absolutely the best way to get an OTA system hooked up, because you benefit from people in your own area.

  AVS Forum > HDTV > Local HDTV info and reception.

  My experience:

  The ubiquitous Zenith indoor antenna works well if you're relatively close (perhaps less than 15 miles?) to the transmitters and free of obstacles, preferably on a high rise; it didn't work in our house.

  Have you visited the antennaweb site? You can get a rec for an antenna type based on your location relative to broadcasters. A good UHF antenna should work. Don't fall for the hype of an "HDTV antenna"; that's a bit like "digital-ready speakers" after CDs came out.

  I have the same question you have! I don't have any experience to share, but you might check the link below for starters. I found it as an advertisement over at www.avsforum.com.

  Joe might be able to provide a specific link to "long-winded" threads discussing relevant topics at www.avsforum. Or better yet, go over and search.

  all the best, townsend

    These seem like excellent antennas. Perticularily the high gain multidirectional ones as I am near the broadcasting anntenas, but they are in opposite directions.
