Recommend me an Antenna for Local HD Channels

Hi, not sure whether to put it in this or the HD Forum. But here it is.

Could any of you gurus recommend me an indoor antenna for receiving local HD channels. I put my HDTV in the basement and I tried one GE antenna but receive very bad signal. TIA.

Might not work for you though since you are in a basement.

The only one I had any success with was the terk.

but even that one was highly positional and flakey.

That links just gives me a page not found error. What was there? Does it find the closes towers to you and determine if a indoor antenna is worth it?
