    What do you guys have for digital antennas? I'm really sick of it coming in and out, so I think its time to get an outdoor antenna. I know nothing about them, so does anyone here?

    are you talking digital TV antennas?

    if so i picked out a *i think* RCA brand one for my folks but it is inside the house not roof mount.

    if you are not talking about TV that will make no sense

    I have a Terk amplified directional antenna for my HTPC so I get OTA HD with it. My cable company charges extra to carry local channels in HD so I had to go that route. I bought it at NewEgg 2 years ago:

    Make sure to visit antennaweb.org to make sure you're getting the right sort of antenna though. Depending on what direction and how far the towers are from you and where you can place the antenna you may not need an amped directional antenna, a good omnidirectional will work.
