Has anyone had any luck receiving OTA HDTV broadcasts in the Leesburg area? I am trying to narrow down which antenna to purchase. I would have to go with an attic install for the antenna. My cable run from the tuner to the antenna will be around 150-175ft.
Everyone says the terk products are crap so I am looking at the Winegard or Channel Master. I might even go with a Radio Shack antenna for convenience purposes.
Which one would be the best bang for the buck and still allow for an attic install? It looks like I am anywhere from 40-50 miles away from most towers.
Thanks in advance..Although I haven't posted before on this forum it is a wealth of knowledge for HDTV idiots like myself.
