re: Selecting An HD Digital Antenna

I bought a cheap RCA brand for less than $30 and it pulls in just about everything in Birmingham. I read some over the air sites that someone here linked where you provide your address, and I have to get an amplifier to pick up ABC and some other random channels for where I'm located, but it pulls in a great HD signal. It was an indoor/outdoor and it is mounted in my attic. But Fox, CBS, and NBC are great quality. I think it is one of those things that depends a great deal on where you live. Obviously Birmingham has hilly terrain and tons of trees, but I'm getting by on a cheap one that does the job. I just wish we had more over the air here. It is the main broadcast stations, CW, and some randoms.

I'm in Birmingham as well and none of the ones I purchased would pick up the ABC signal, and the CBS signal was spotty. I'm down 280 though on Cahaba Valley Rd, so being kind of in a valley is part of the problem.
I made a homemade one and I get all of them without a problem. It's pretty ugly though and the wife won't let me keep it behind the TV in the living room.
My advice is go to Walmart or BB, and start with the cheap ones. If they don't work, take it back and get next cheapest, and so on until you find one that works.
