Need an indoor HDTV antenna

[mn9500]

does anyone have suggestions on a antenna to buy to see if i can get some over the air HD channels?

[mn9500]

can anyone make some suggestions. i have no idea what is good and what isnt. i currently dont have any HD programming, but i have an Xbox 360 which is my only HD source. i live about 600 ft above sea level if that works. and i think im near a tower. preferably not a expensive antenna.

any suggestions?

I think you're to far for an indoor. Would you mind re-posting with just the digital stations.

Try a silver sensor amplified antenna. Possibly antennasDirect.com DB2
Maybe something from Radio Shack

You have some VHF channels, so you will need a VHF/UHF combo. Try this... easily returnable:

cool, i was in radioshack today and saw it in person. ill try to pick it up when i get some money together.

[mn9500]

is it possible to get HD channels from Comcast basic cable with a Vizio VX32L that has a digital tv tuner? you have one kevin so you know what i mean.

[kevinw]

As long as they are not encrypted. Generally the locals are not. If you have comcast now plug the line into the cable/antenna input and try.

[mn9500]

ill have comcast soon.
