Need antenna advice

[mjrchode]

Hey Forum,

Just like a lot of people on here we are ditching satellite and going back to antenna to reduce expenses and streaming/DVD's for entertainment. Looks like most of my broadcast towers are ~70 miles away across relatively flat terrain. Figure 15-20 ft antenna height. More if needed. Can only afford to do this once so I want to get the best antenna possible which may not necessarily be the cheapest.
