Moving to a new house, already have a Sony A2000 LDP Rear Proj TV for use at the new house. Will buying a new DVD and Receiver as well when I move. Not sure if I want to get the HDTV package from Charter Cable or not. This is what I get when I go to a link provided by ????? on one of the forums I use.

After seeing the image down below, what suggestions would you have. Again, I am very green on all this. The house I will be moving too has a lot of trees around it, but is on the top of a hill, and is one of the highest points in the area. My zip code is 49009, and looking at Terra Server, the lat and long are (42.31903, -85.71245).

Looks like my elevation is somewhere around 985ish feet.

Are you interested in both analog and digital reception or just digital reception?

You have a mix of UHF and VHF channels in various directions and distances, a medium gain UHF/VHF combo and a rotator would probably work well for you.

I suggest you look for a thread for your local viewing area under the
Local HDTV Info and Reception section here to see what others in your area are using for OTA reception also.
