My HD antenna is ok

"I have purchased the Radio shack version of the DTV box and Budget antenna. It took 15 minutes to set up including setting up the remote to match the TV (universal for the tv only).

"I did some research about what type of antenna I would need for my new flat screen HDTV (w/integrated ATSC tuner so no converter box needed) and decided to experiment with the most basic type I could find.
