What Antenna should I use?

I went to TV Fool, and received the following output:

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...c08d432949f86f

I am focusing on Digital channels and am leaning towards installing either one by the tv or one mounted in the attic.

All help and advice are appreciated.

Thanks.

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a negative effect on Broadcast Tv reception , multi-path/reflecting , absorbing , blocking , Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings including your own roof and house and other obstructions.

The Best Practice is to install a Tv antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own roof and house.

_____________

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels , often named the , 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv Setup Menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the Air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

Some Digital Tv's will Automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.

Go into the Tv Setup Menu and select , 'Air Channels' ~ 'Antenna Channels'.

Scan for channels.
