Default Do receiver antennas need matching or not?

Over the air HDTV is superior to cable and satellite HDTV. They may sell
more outdoor antennas as soon as it becomes clear that, from the 1996
telecommunications, not only did the FCC ruling on small satellite dishes
overrule the homeowner association covents restricting dsmall satellite
antennas, they ALSO overruled covenants restricting outdoor TV (i.e.yagi
type) antennas...this was done to promote fair competition for cable,
satellite and broadcast TV. I did put up a regular radio shack yagi style
outdoor TV antenna back then and the HOA did contact their lawyer and found
they could do nothing about it. If I ever splurge and buy my 1080p, I will
do it again because the OTA picture is absolutely the best.

Put up one of these: http://www.digitalhome.ca/ota/superantenna

A home brewed double Gray-Hoverman. Apparently, they work pretty well
and if you build a really impressive one, the HOA will really get their
panties in a bunch.
