What sort of antennas are y'all using for the best reception? I have been using one of those black pastic square atennas with a booster with just so-so results.

The type of antenna you should use depends on your location and proximity to the towers. Try tvfool.com for more information

There's a lot of difference depending on where you are at. Most of the stations are on the towers off Briarcliff near Emory or the tower in the Old 4th Ward.

*raises hand*

When I lived in Baltimore, I used to pick up the stations from Philly and NYC. I picked up stations from a further distance but I can't recall now.

Is it even possible with digital tv?

This is basically my set-up in my attic. Pretty solid reception. I am about 5-7 miles from most of the antennae.

I think an admin can allow you to make edits.
