Phil -

Another antenna that works quite well for DTV is the Philips (used to be Zenith) Silver Sensor. It's a UHF log-periodic that comes with its own tabletop stand and doesn't take up a lot of room. I was planning on building one of the antennas with the reflector when a co-worker loaned me his Silver Sensor, and from what I've read, it compares favorably with the reflector-style antenna.

I'm about 35 miles from the broadcast towers and have the antenna pointed out my front window. I get about 85-90% signal strength on all Chicago channels and can even pick up one out of Gary Indiana if I rotate the antenna 90 degrees.
