Make sure you let us know how that works out for you in relation to
your distance away from your local HD transmitters.

I am looking to upgrade my MythTV node to include HD when I get free
time during the holidays, but I've always been curious to find out how
cheap of an antenna I can get away with to recieve an HD signal.  I
have a few restrictions since I still live in an apartment and can't
mount anything on a roof yet.
