Thinking about dropping directv and getting an antenna.

[Bypass]

I want to get a long range antenna capable of receiving HDTV signals. Any suggestions?

I also have 7 TVs in my house. This will be an attic mounted system.

Also are there any good sales service and installation companies in this area?

With antennas the bigger it is and the higher you mount it the more channels you'll get.

ANY and ALL TV antennas can receive HDTV channels, so don't pay extra for one that's labeled "HD"

Some are directional and some are omnidirectional.

This site has some pretty good tools for figuring out what stations you'll be able to get in your area and what direction they are from you...

Boostwave antennas are good.
Im down in a hole and get 37 on air channels. My dad is on a hill and gets about 120 channels. Atlanta, Chattanooga and Rome all broadcast.

Damn right!


I've got an 8 foot long Channel Master like this on a 30 foot pole in my backyard.

It's big and ugly as hell, but I love it like the son I never had (because I was too cheap to have a son)

I have DirecTV. I also have a thirty dollar HDTV antenna. The signal on the antenna is much sharper than the satellite picture. The sub channels I receive with the antenna are great. I keep the DirectTV so I can get Fox News and ESPN.
