There may be a trade off. Keep in mind the gain factor of the antenna. Higher gains mean narrower beamwidth.

Before you buy a rotor, try turning your antenna and see if the signal improves. In analog, you would see a clearer picture with some ghosting of the signal. With digital, when the signal starts dropping you see frame freezing or digital breaking (small squares in the picture). So it is best if you pause and the the BER catch up. The constant frozen frame means you have lost the signal. That's the difference between analog and digital TV.

As far as the best antenna model, Skip's suggestion may be the best. But the other posters seem to have some good alternatives also.

Try suing DTV. . .
