Channel Master always seem to get good reviews. I have one with the  
intention of mounting it outside. Unfortunately, I hooked it up and it  
got such good reception immediately that it now lives in my living  
room. The good reception took away my incentive to get it mounted  
correctly outside immediately and now it's low on the priority list  
even though it's pretty ugly. The PAF (partner acceptance factor?)  
seems to be rising the longer it sits there. :)

Point is.. check out the channel masters... http://www.hdtvantennalabs.com/channelmaster.php
