I disagree on the rabbit ears. If you can do an outdoor antenna it's
preferable for many reasons like less multipath and stronger signal.

If an antenna made exactly for DTV is cheap, then fine. *However, I
suspect
you may pay extra for an antenna with limited bandwidth over a
close out
sale on an old fashioned 2 through 82 antenna.

If you don't mind the size of the antenna. The Winegard 7694 is only
35" wide vs 110" for the 7082. There is no such ting as an antenna
"made exactly for DTV". Antennas cover a range of frequencies thet may
include analog or digital TV. Flatness of response and directionality
are the important issues and are equally important for analog or
digital.
