I am a newbie to OTA. I just bought a Samsung LNT3242H 32" LCD. I want to get an antenna for OTA. I live in Magna, UT. I was thinking the Winegard ss3000. thoughts?
My antennaweb.com scan shows this:

anyone?
No outside antenna!!

Inside Choices:
Winegard ss3000
Phillips Silver Sensor PHDTV1 or PHDTV3
Phillips ManT510
 
I built my own antenna and put it in the attic. Look for the plans for a DB4 antenna. Built with coat hangers or scrap copper wire for less than $8. I am picking up 32 channels from between 16 and 40 miles away from stations that are 90 deg. apart from each other.

You might be able to set the DB4 antenna behind the TV and no one would see it.
