What is unique about the new HDTV antennas? We just picked up a new
HDTV with a tuner and was advised to pickup a simple HDTV antenna to
pick up the local digital broadcast. Any magic to these other the high

Last I looked, broadcast HDTV occupies the old UHF tv channels, so...

Rat Shack Model: U-75R, Catalog #: 15-2160 $25

it's a UHF antenna, nothing more, and that's all you need. I've put in
a few of these.

I am 3 to 4 miles from the transmission towers and the antenna you
mentioned may be too directional. I need an omnidirectional UHF only.
