HDTV Antennas?

Anyone using an HDTV antenna to get over the air channels? If so, any recommendations? Getting cable TV at the business is like $50 per TV, ugh. So, I figure, hooking up an HDTV antenna might be worth it so I can watch Jerry Springer in the morning in my office haha

What ever happened to the old school satellite dish? Fuck cable, fuck broadcast and fuck the new 'dish.'

I was just reading about the old school c-band satellite and just found out that everything you see on TV; broadcast, cable and 'new' dish is fed from large c-band dishes.

A little FYI.

Well first off, there is no such thing as an HDTV antenna, its just a marketing ploy. Any antenna will pick up whatever is broadcast over the air within the range of the antenna. If you want a cheap indoor antenna, go with something like the Phillips HDTV1 or something like that. (That’s the one I have and I pick up like 6 stations, but in Rochester you may have more that you can pick up) To figure out what stations you can get and what direction you need to point the antenna in, go to antennaweb.org. If you want the best reception, mounting an antenna on the roof is the best way to go and you can get those for like $100 or so. A good one from what I have read is from Channel Master.
