back in the day when I got my first HDTV, I bought a rat shack antenna called the "double bow tie"  it was a $3 indoor antenna  on clearance and it worked so well  it's still in use on my new TV.   ;D

I'm about 15 miles from the broadcast towers and single story.

Since you're in a pretty decent area, I would assume you could get by with any type of antenna.  I would start with the typical rabbit ear type and move up from there if you have problems.

www.antennaweb.org/

try them too, they might have some good info about where your broadcasts are coming from. 


btw I would HIGHLY suggest direct TV or dishnet.  HD HBO is worth the price of admission, along with ESPNHD and DiscoveryHD.
