For years I used a Radio Shack indoor antenna and it worked very well until a couple of months ago my cat knocked it off the TV cabinet and broke it. I bought this to replace it:

and it works OK but nowhere near as good as the previous antenna. I just happened to have ordered the same model as the one in terracore's link which arrives Monday or Tuesday this coming week, so will let you know how it performs.
I'm in lower HPP. Like macuu222 I've never been able to get the NBC channels, but they can be received in other areas of HPP and Orchidland.
One question: who do you contact when there are OTA transmitter problems? I have contact info for channel 45-1 (CBS and KGMB) but nothing else. For me, everything is still down apart from the 45 and 10 channels, although I think all the others are still active, just operating at very low power (I don't get a channel unavailable message, just a poor signal quality one). This all seemed to happen around the same time as the power outages yesterday evening.
islandlvng - something happened with the channel 45 transmitter some months ago which made the signal much weaker. I don't know what it was. 45-1, 2 and 3 were always the strongest signals I received, but now they are the hardest to get.
