So I just purchased a new TV. Upgraded from a Hitachi 42" 1080i Plasma to the new Samsung 46" 3D LED HDTV (UN46C7100WF). It's pretty amazing. However, I had my old TV in a different location in the room and was using an antenna to receive local HD Broadcast signals. It worked fine in that location.
The new TV has to be in a different spot, and therefore the antenna moved with it. Unfortunately, I can't get all the channels to come in anymore (NBC isn't even detected when scanning). So, I'm in search of a better antenna hoping I can get better reception. I realize I might just have to put my current antenna back where it was and run a coaxial cable across the room, but I simply don't want to do that.
Antennas generally suck, but I'm hoping someone might have some expert knowledge on what's worth a darn. I live within city limits, and in a small town. Likely no more than 5-7 miles from the broadcast towers (which is pretty sad considering only amplified antennas provide a decent signal).
