Already done that. I need a blue one (mid-range directional w/pre-amp). 
About $200 later (ouch), and I think I have everything I need (antenna 
- $70, 10ft mast - $12, mounting bracket - $20, pre-amp $50, 100ft 
RG-6QS coax cable - $30).

Now to get it all mounted. Then the fun begins...

AVSForum.com has some user feedback on a number of them. A guy at Video 
Only here in the Seattle area said lots of customers thought the Terk 
ones were overrated, over-priced pieces of junk (they'd had lots of 
them returned). The same guy actually recommended just getting one of 
the basic aluminum multi-fingered ones at RadioShack (but not the goofy 
"HDTV" one). I didn't find many reviews either, but a good site to look 
at for what's out there is http://www.dtvgear.com/ .
