This setup was done in Toronto, but can be done anywhere for LOCAL HDTV channels.
I saw that thread last week about Homemade HDTV antennas. I made one, but their Mast is made of wood which makes it kind of useless for outdoors, where the signals are. And figuring, since I'm going to make a hole in the wall, I may as well install a good antenna. I bought a Channel Master 4221.

Comes already assembled in the Box. Don't order it ONLINE or you will have bent parts in shipping, guarenteed. I picked mine up at a small hole in the wall tv store. As you can see in the pics, it's pointed in the same general direction as my dishes(very important).
I picked up over 16 beautiful HD channels.

2.2 NBC WGRZ sport
4.1 CBS WIVB
5.1 CBC CBLT (hockey)
7.1 ABC WKBW

Unfortunately TVs only have one cable entrance to the TV, and if you put a splitter you weaken the HDTV signal. So, I disconnected my Rogers Cable and have almost as many as cable but in HD,
You have to turn OFF the cable in your HDTV settings, then scan for OTA(Over the Air) HD channels. PRESTO, FREE HDTV. Works beautifully. I might never plug my Cable cable in again, unless we lose Ihub, lol, NOT.
