I went through a few antennas at radioshack, and none of them worked well. Then I found that with a piece of wood, a few coat hangers, screws and washers, and a transformer for coaxial connection to the antenna, you can build a DAMN good antenna. It only costs about $5 for the connector. Everything else you'll probably have lying around. I got a piece of wood at Home Depot for $3 or so. I'm never going back there though...I waited in checkout for 20 minutes for them to price the wood.
Aiming the antenna can be an issue, but that'd be an issue with any HDTV antenna.

I don't mean to dump on the deal though!!! It seems like a nice deal.
Just offering a suggestion
