He needs to go to some place like http://tvfool.com/ and find out where the channels he wants are, how far away, and in what direction.

Digital reception is mostly go/no go, in that it is watchable or not, very little in between like with analog where you can put up with a bit fuzzy if necessary.

FWIW I have no problem getting many DTV stations up to 60 miles with a little antenna hidden behind my couch. It largely depends on the terrain between you and the station. Aiming the antenna is important. A good analog UHF TV antenna is still a good digital TV antenna. Similarly for VHF antennas, but more digital stations are in the UHF now. IOW, there's nothing "special" about a DTV antenna.
