Several antennas have been talked about so far. So here is a summary of the characteristics of each, trying to avoid overly technical terms.

The ANT-751 is designed to receive real channels 7 through 51. It's not a large antenna so it's fits in places a longer and or wider antenna can not. Because it's relatively small, it has less gain (signal gathering ability) and it's not very directional.

The HD7694P is designed to receive real channels 7 through 69. It's a mid to large size antenna so it's mounting location needs to allow for the length. Because it's relatively large, it has more gain (signal gathering ability) and it's rather directional making aiming a bit more critical compared to a smaller antenna.

The DB4e is designed to receive real channels 14 through 51. It's not a long antenna so it's fits in places a longer antenna can not. The relatively flat 'panel' shape is as wide as many other antennas, and taller. This antenna focuses on fewer channels so it has more gain (signal gathering ability) in the range it specializes in. It's not as directional as a long, wide, high-gain antenna.

The Y5713 is designed to receive real channels 7 through 13. It is moderate in length and width. Because it specializes in a narrow range of frequencies, it provides a medium amount of gain and directivity.

A J-pole was also mentioned. It is simply one of may accessories on the market, intended for mounting satellite dishes and small to mid sized over-the-air antennas. At it's base is a bracket that can be bolted to a wall, roof or other surface. The pole is then adjusted so that it's vertical, making a sutable point to clamp the antenna to.

Eave brackets, tripods, and various other devises are also available depending on the needs of a given installation.
