All the stations where I am are UHF (sans Univision), but in 2009, Fox will switch back to Channel 7 (VHS), so that is why I went with a UHF/VHF antenna. (Well actually my cousin gave it to me because he thought it sucked). I have it "mounted" (read: laying on the rafters) in the attic. I can get all the locals in my city (20 miles away) and for the city to the north (60 miles away).
Plus, I get the CW in HD where all the TWC customers get is good old SD :)
If I were looking at a new antenna, I'd double check with the FCC website to see what frequency they will be broadcasting on in 2009 and buy appropriately...so you don't have to buy again in 2009. Frequencies 55(?)-69 are the ones being sold off, not the VHF.
