One of these pulls in almost all of the ATSC channels when I have it 
hanging from a curtain rod on my second floor.  No adjustment needed.

If I put it on top of the TV I just have to tweak it a little for each 
channel.

And I'm out by 31 and 14.

I have trouble getting a few channels on the main floor, I think my main 
problem is the water tower in my line of site.  A roof antenna should 
help with that.  But the point I wanted to make is that just about any 
hunk of metal is going to work.
