Soiled Meat
I would just like to pimp the antenna that I am currently using. When I built my house 4 years ago out in the middle of nowhere, I decided I wasn't paying for satellite (no cable/dsl/anything even available) so I went with an in-attic antenna setup. I am in lower Michigan, about 40 miles from the nearest city that broadcasts OTA channels, so I knew I would need something more than an antenna that could sit on the tv stand. I went with Antennas Direct DB8 which I got for $80 at the time. I also had to pair it with a ~$60 Channel Master amplifier, so I was at $140. I get channels in HD with strong signal from Flint, Lansing, and Saginaw. Strangely, I am closer to Detroit than Saginaw but I get no channels from Detroit. So I have about 30 channels, most of those are duplicates so figure 15 channels to watch. FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC, CW, PBS, and others (religious/spanish, etc) all in HD. My favorite channel I got was ION but about a month ago it just dissapeared and I can't pick it up anymore, now I'm on a Psych withdrawl.
