Re: OTA antenna  Check out this website it creates a map showing the location of DTV transmitters from your home address:

This information is provided by the FCC:
Where transmitters are located:

DTV Station channel assignments. This web page is very important because it lists the stations frequency assignments at each city. Unfortunately many Stations assigned to VHF frequencies moved to UHF frequencies while keeping their old NTSC channel numbers. UHF frequencies are line of sight and do not travel as far as VHF frequencies:

You might require a long range outdoor antenna. If you are in an area where all stations are UHF you can use a smaller antenna because UHF frequency wavelengths are shorter.
Here in Central Florida I require a UHF/VHF Antenna to receive all channels because Channel 2 (NBC) moved to VHF Channel 11.
