Hi. Anyone in this area getting OTS HDTV? If so what antenna are you using and what is your PQ like?
THanks

I live in Saugatuck. Check out AVS Forums (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=349584&perpage=20&pagenumber=1) for reports from users closer to your location. One of the members there from Cedar Springs goes by the handle of "Kamakazie". He knows his stuff.

I use a modified Royal 17 antenna. This is an three-antenna combination designed specifically for West Michigan. Look in the yellow pages for antenna dealers. I put the antenna in the attic. I could do better if I mounted it on the roof, but I'm satisfied with what I get from the attic.

HD reception and picture quality is excellent on channels 8, 13 and 17. Channels 3, 35 and 41 are usually good but not 100% reliable here. The picture is either perfect or unwatchable--rarely in-between. I'll get channel 43 about half of the time. I bet all of them would be perfect if I was outside of the attic.
