This is probably going to sound crazy, but the best antenna I've found to pick up OTA local HD channels is a run-of-the mill FM radio antenna. I searched high and low, bought powered antennas, cheap antennas, high powered $100+ antennas, and the best one was a free FM wire antenna I got with my stereo. Try it and see.
Big antennas are overkill and probably overload the tuners if the stations are close by. I use a $7 walmart antenna for my TV in the living room and it works better than a more powerful antenna.
I also use a silversensor for the basement and it works even better than an out door antenna.
I live about 12 miles from the towers. And of course I am talking about digital signals only.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.
