Can someone from the Chicago suburbs help me out? I'm about to take the plunge and buy a TV and STB (most likely the Mits WS-65857 and SR-HD500). I'd like to know what type of antenna I'd need for OTA reception. Will I need to install one on my roof or in my attic, can I get away with an antenna that "clips" on to the dish, or would some strong "rabbit-ears" work? I'm in Lake in the Hills (northwest suburb about 50 miles from Downtown Chicago).
I tried asking the fine folks at Tweeter about what antenna I'd need. The sales rep told me I didn't need one because DirecTV has the digital locals channels, along with HBO-HD, Discovery-HD, and a sports channel coming soon. I corrected him about the locals (digital...yes...high-def...no) and that there is no Discovery-HD channel. He seemed confused about that so I didn't push it.
I am currently a DirecTV subscriber, and I can't go without NFL Sunday Ticket, so switching to Dish is not an option.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
