I've one of those "dish" jobs on my Motorola in the bedroom, using 90s-00s era rabbit ears for the CTC21 and BT modulator, and a standard Philips branded VHF/UHF combo yagi I bought for $25 back in '06. I took it with me when I moved out of my parents in '08. It beats anything you can buy at a big box store for DTV reception. A local hardware store still has the same one (though RCA branded) and they want over $100 for it! I'm only 35 mile outside ABQ, bit we have always needed good outdoor antennas for decent reception.

My great grandparents in Douglas, AZ had a big tower for my great grandpa's HF rig, but also mounted a really big Winegard aimed at Tucson up there. Next time I go down, I'll see if its still there and take pictures.
