I first bought a digital antenna from Best Buy (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Terk-Low-Profile-Indoor-Antenna-TV5/dp/B000069106">http://www.amazon.com/Terk-Low-Profile-Indoor-Antenna-TV5/dp/B000069106</a>). I got around 70-80% signal strength. It seemed okay, but it would cut out very frequently. Then I watched a segment on Make: Television about building your own (<a href="http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/01/maker_workshop_pdf_dtv_antenna.html">http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/01/maker_workshop_pdf_dtv_antenna.html</a>). With this new antenna mounted in my attic, I now get 90-100% signal strength except for Fox which comes in around 85. I also put the antenna feed into a splitter/combiner and combined it with the cable from the Mediacom feed (I am not a subscriber, but the feed is still attached to the signal tap outside my house). This then feeds into my TV. This seems to have seriously stabilized the signal.<div>
