I have an HDTV, 2 of the converter boxes, and a Radio Shack outdoor antenna
mounted in my attic. I'm about 30 miles from the broadcast towers in OKC.
The coax that feeds from the antenna goes through a 3 way splitter with no
amplification to the 3 TVs. Reception of the digital signals is just fine -
most of the time. I do lose a couple of the channels when we get heavy
rain, but other than that I've had no problems.

Hi Brad,
Before you worry about an antenna, did you sink a fair amount of $$$ into an
HDTV (Hi Definition TV) despite the fact that you don't watch much TV??
Ouch!!
If you mean a regular antenna to be used with a regular TV and a digital to
analog converter I'd be interested in answers to this also. I'm thinking of
ditching my cable TV subscription. What a rip-off!!!!
Thanks for fielding this question,
Jeff

Since we're not much into watching TVB we don't have a cable connection and
have no desire to have one.B However there are times we would like to tune
into the local news or watch something that is available over-the-air.B
So the question is what would be a good HDTV antenna?B We're looking at two
different types, rabbit ear style or a larger one that we could put in our
large open attic.B My preference would probably be rabbit ears but since
we're kind of out in the country I'm not sure that would be a good choice.
Any recommendations on what would be a good choice for us to use?
Thanks!
Brad
