Look for the Wineguard Sensar Bi-Directional off air UHF/VHF amplified TV antenna model GS-2000. The antenna is bi-directional so I added a rotator to the antenna mast. That significantly improved the number of off air digital stations detected.

The TM taught me that over the air digital TV is pretty darned good. We're 35+ miles from any station, and analog TV is way too snowy to watch. I once thought of using an RV antenna in the house, but then with a little experimentation I discovered that $30 amplified rabbit ears can provide a good digital signal anywhere in the house.
