Or save yourself some pain and suffering and buy an HD Homerun.  2
tuners, streams over multicast IP in mpeg-2.  Makes mythtv *easy*.  Not
cheap, but well worth the $170.  Plus their support team is excellent.
My unit died after a few days and they replaced it straight away.

If you want a good, cheap DTV antenna, you can make your own with 10 16"
lengths of wire (coat hanger or piano wire), a piece of 2x4, some screws
and washers, and a UHF transformer (coax to 2 wires converter).  Let me
know if you want details.  It's very simple and works a little bit
better than the $30-50 amplified rabbit-ear antennas.
