I know sattilite boxes have signal strength meters, do HDTV boxes, or HDTV's have signal strength meters as well?

Otherwise -- For US locations only.
Go to
www.antennaweb.org
Click on
Choose an Antenna
No name needed, but for the best results, enter your Address, City, St, and Zip
Uncheck the 2 marketing checkboxes
The results will give you the all the analog and digital stations available in your area along with their Compass orientation based on your exact address, allowing you to better aim the antenna in the general direction of the transmitter(s). You can also sort the station results with the radio buttons for analog or digital or both and even get a
Ground Level Map display.
Bonus -- your current VHF/UHF antenna will work just fine receiving digital stations. No need to buy anything fancy because VHF is still VHF and UHF is still UHF as far as carrier signals go.
