anyone know anything about hdtv antennas?

Ok well i just got an hd capable tv and i have digital cable, but not the cable box hooked up to it, so i don't get any of the hd stations right now. The normal stations are a bit grainy. I've been looking at hdtv antenna's and debating on just going with one of those as well, so that way i can watch the hd stations, and switch back if theres something on a channel i dont get from the antenna. Are they worth it or should i jsut stick with the cable and try and adjust the settings to get rid of the slightly grainy picture

So, you're writing that you need an HD cable box, but don't have one? Just get the darn HD cable box. Lol

maybe its just me but i wouldnt bother buying an HD television and NOT USE IT for HD content. i would guess the HD antenna will only get you the network stations in HD.. so if you want to get your cable stations in hd, get an HD cable box.,

yea the antenna will only pick up like 3-6-10-11, if you want all the other ones you have to get the hd cable box or dvr, i picked up an antenna last week just bc i couldnt wait for a box, but i have a box now and dont need the antenna, ill sell it to u for like 30, let me know bc otherwise im gonna return it
