All digital channels are in teh UHF band, so you have to look for an antenna that is more directed to UHF than VHF.
The 80" Radio shack antenna is 60 bucks and works exceptionally well.
The 4 bay channel master UHF only antenna (big flat squares) is recognized as the best.
Don't bother with amplified antennas like all the cool little Terk's. I'm 15 miles from downtown STL (where the tv stations broadcast from) and the little amplified ones have terrible signal dropout. With my Radio shack, I don't lose signal in a thunderstorm.
Free HD is the only way to fly. The only channels Charter has are a couple of local ones and ESPN HD. Why would I pay for ESPNHD and still have to get an antenna to get the rest of the local channels. That means I'd be paying 40/mo JUST for ESPNHD. That math just doesn't work for me. I expect it's the same with a lot of other people.
