Rick Duchane: Antenna requirements vary with your distance from the transmitters. Enter you address at the websites below to see how far away the transmitters are and what type of antenna you'll need.It's likely that the antenna that's on your roof now is better than a small boomerang type. In general, with antennas, there's no substitute for size. Don't buy the baloney about new modern HDTV antennas. Digital television broadcasts on the same channels as old analog television, so the old antenna work fine as long as can receive both VHF (ch 2-13) and UHF (ch 14-69) channels.After the transition, all but a few dozen stations around the country will be broadcasting on channels 7 to 51. This can allow for a slightly narrower antenna, since it won't the long arms needed to get chs 2-6.If TVFool's post-transition listing shows that you have only UHF channels, then you may be able to use a UHF-only antenna, like the DB4 or DB8.http://www.antennasdirect.com/hdtv_antenna_selecto.! .....Show more
Darren Heling: No one here can correctly give you an antenna that you should buy. We do not know where you live or how far you away from your local broadcast antennas so we don't know what sort of antenna to suggest.The best we can do is point you at this tool:http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspxPut your address in and this will recommend the antenna type you need. Click on the links in the color coded area when you are done and read what it says, which will help you decide on an antenna....Show more
Sonya Volcko: We have Verizon, which isn't working as well as it should. We've had them all. We started with Comcast and then, when it got too expensive for the same stuff, we went to Dish. Dish was good, but it really doesn't work when it's cloudy. I thought that was just some kind of nonsense made up by the Comcast people in their commercials but it's true. Then, when my dad moved in because of his knee replacement surgery, we went back to Com! cast because Dish didn't give us local sports. Comcast was wor! se then every! In four years of Dish, the repair guy was out once. The Comcast repair guy had to come 3 days after installing it and was their at least 10 times in the year we had it. Then we went to Verizon Fios, cable optic stuff. We have the phone service, internet and TV. It had been working great up until a month ago when we would turn off the TV but the "box" would still be on and vice versa. Also the fast forwarding through commercials of recording stuff isn't working right. And whenever my husband turns on the desk top computer, the internet connection is lost on my laptop. Yes, I wish we could just go through a list and take the channels we want. We've got all kinds of sports channels that we don't watch and we don't need. It should be ala cart....Show more
