well i wanted to buy an ebay antenna until i started researching on the web and found out posts on people who bought them and had reception complaints. they finally opted to build their own and had better results. i have just built one and mounted it in the attic and i am amazed it gets all the channels (52 total) save for KERA channel 13 in dallas. (there's a solution for this i just haven't found it) to see it search for coat hanger antenna on youtube. i used regular electric copper wires. here are the
plans. good luck and let us know what you decide. i suppose some people have great results with the ebay antenna and others don't. i just decided to try the youtube one before spending $ and i am glad i did. goodluck
