I'm down in Pearland and get good signal for all the HD out of Houston. I did notice that the $20 Target-purchased antenna worked better than the $40 one I got from walmart when I added another HDTV (Target no-longer sold the $20 one :( ) so, it could be all in the brand of antenna you pick up. firstly, let me say that i’m enjoying your blog, keep up the good work :)
