just wanted to give some antenna info. For those with standard TV and are using digital TV or a decoder box, The Phillips mant940 is a 50 DB boost amplified antenna. It seems to be the only 50 db boost, and brings in the channel and all of it's subs. $40 it seems at Best Buy, Wallmart, or even KMart. Good luck
