I've had a nice DLP set for a while, but had DirecTV so I never picked up an antenna for it, or even looked into them. I know it has an internal tuner, but I know next to nothing about which antennas for it are decent. The last time any TV I used had an antenna was... 1989, so I'm a bit out of the loop. Anyone have any suggestions?

I just (like 3 hours ago) upgraded my shitty $16 Philips antenna with a powered Terk indoor antenna, and it's like night and day.
I used to have to dick around with the old one to switch between network and PBS, and this new one gets everything without fail. I've also picked up about 5 more OTA channels. Would absolutely recommend it. Bonus points because it doesn't look that stupid.
I ended up buying the Terk. It picks up just about everything on the list of over-air channels where I live, except for two stations: ABC and CBS. Turns out, they're at 4.75kw and 8kw respectively, and 36 miles away being broadcast from the mast on the Sears Tower. Oddly enough, I can pick up another channel that's at 4.4kw being broadcast from the same place. Looks like I may have to invest in an outdoor antenna.
