In my personal experience I get bunch (in fact an amazing) number of OTA channels with a simple indoor leaf antenna taped to the wall. Having the hdhomerun in the signal path however degrades most channels to the point they become unrecordable to my htpc. I'll be installing an outdoor antenna shortly (how retro!) to boost signal and the funny thing is there's very few companies that even do that any more.</span></div>
