Newbie Antenna Advice
 
I have a place in Phoenix, AZ surrounded by the mountains and am trying to find the best outside antenna to use. I don't want to purchase cable or satellite but want to view as many channels as possible. I initially purchased a LAVA HD-2805 Outdoor/Indoor Rotating UHF/VHF HDTV Antenna which gets about 20 channels (some are duplicates). I am now looking to improve and see if there is a better choice out there to purchase that will expand the channels and quality I receive. I have added my TV Fool report and would appreciate any assistance or suggestions the forum has.
