Finally getting sick of the crap customer service from Comcast, I've decided to hook my TiVo HD up to an antenna. I live in Arvada, CO, around 58th and Kipling and I was wondering if someone could recommend a good indoor antenna. I currently have the Philips/Zenith P/ZHDTV1 and it does an okay job, but I would like something better. Does anyone have any suggestions? Antennaweb.org suggested a "Small Multi-directional" antenna. Thanks.

First, you might try TVFool.com to get a better idea of what you can receive, I find Antennaweb a bit too conservative.
Second piece of advice is to use an outdoor antenna if at all possible. Indoor antennas seem to really suffer from multipath issues with digital signals. You don't indicate why you think you need 'something better' but if it's multipath issues you may not be able to solve it with an indoor.

I've had good luck with a Philips Silver Sensor in the San Francisco Bay Area. I first had it on top of my TV cabinet and was able to pull in about 75% of the local stations. Now that I've moved it to the attic, I'm able to get the remaining ones. The quality and reliability are very high, so I don't miss cable at all.

I think your antenna is essentially an equivalent of the one the original poster mentioned he/she is using.
Just goes to show: it's all a matter of perception(and reception). :)

That is actually the same antenna that I have. I'm glad it works well for you. If I had an attic to place it in, I would. Thanks for the input.
