I'm using this antenna(DB4_HDTV) with exceptional results.  Luckily all my
channels are coming from the same direction within a 20 degree spread.
I just have the antenna leaning against the wall in my office hooked
up to a HD3000 (haven't had time to monkey around the attic yet) and
it picks up the channels I want.  Pretty good for a descent price$$.
