HDTV Antenna Recommendations

Best HDTV Antenna  Before deciding on the best HDTV antenna to buy, you need to decide where you plan on getting your high definition TV programming. A TV antenna (without also subscribing to satellite or cable service) will only pick up your local broadcast channels. (If you've got an older model HD-ready rear projection TV that lacks a built-in ATSC HDTV tuner, you'll also need an HDTV receiver before you can even connect your HD antenna.) Since the number one determining factor determining how well an off air antenna works is location, there is no single "one size fits all" best HDTV antenna. Nearby tall buildings, steeples, towers, trees and other signal reflecting structures can effect your HD reception. We recommend that you check out antennaweb.org and read HDTV antenna reviews at Amazon.com. Depending on your particular situation, you might have to try several HD antennas before you can receive all your local high def channels. It's worth the trouble though, because once your HDTV antenna is up, local off the air HD channels are free!
