I work at a mid-size CE retailer, and OTA antennas are hotter than ever. We sell probably 5 a day where 2 years ago we probably sold 1 a week.
DTV has done wonders for the OTA marketplace. Where we used to carry 3 models of antennas, we now carry 11. ELEVEN.
To Granny Down East, it's probably not your antenna, it's probably the station. Here in Indianapolis, all of our local stations broadcast digitally, but even with our pretty powerful, amplified antenna at the store, we can hardly get one station. It's because some stations that are already broadcasting digitally are not doing so at full power yet.
Thanks guys, for the replies. I found a blog (AVSForums) that confirmed what you said- the one VHF digital channel probably necessitates a larger antenna- like a CM bowtie.
