HDTV Antenna - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Hi guys - I live Northern Virginia and am trying to set up HD channels on my 61" Hitatchi and would like to know if anyone can recommend a good but low cost directional outdoor/roof antenna.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Scott

sdveirs,
Try WWW.TITANTC.COM and look for the "Antenna Selector" Link after you register. Another good resource is WWW.ANTENNAWEB.ORG

The Good Guys sells one for around $100. My friend has a hi-def big screen too but he opted to put off the antenna. However, the one at the Good Guys got him REAL tempted. Not sure if there is a store by you but I'd try places like that (Circuit City too). Maybe Good Guys even has a website.

The Good Guys website. Dunno what you can get there, but from my understandng of ATSC, in theory, if you can get a strong signal with a pair of rabit ears, you can use those same rabit ears to pick up HDTV, since they usse the same carrier signal.
