I have a 46" Toshiba TV with built in HD tuner as well as an HD tuner in my Media Center for the TV upstairs. Currently I have some low quality antenna that came with the tuner inside my PC that is going to a splitter and sending signal to both the TV and the PC.

I am looking for a low cost and easy to setup replacement antenna that will give me a more solid signal as the one I am currently using has frequent static and screen freezes.

Thank you for any help.

Here ya go. I have it and love it. Check out all the reviews. Can't beat it for the price. The only con, if you want to consider it a con, is the rg6 cable that comes with it is only about 10 feet long. Of course you can buy more for cheap from the same site. Browse around, I order all kinds of stuff from monoprice, never had one problem! Hope this helps

Depends where you live. I'm north of Powell and got good results from a Terk HDTVi set top antenna.

Got tired of looking at it so I installed an antenna in my attic and ran RG6 to my basement, split it to the receiver there then up to the receiver on the main floor. Works great even with the split and the very long cable runs. I think it's called a "DB2". Highly recommended.
