Does anyone have any reccomendations for a more powerful antenna for my ATi HDTV Wonder?

It came with a standard antenna, which is ok, but it could be better. I'm about 40 miles from Philadelphia and I get their stations (for the most part, sometimes I'll kind of loose the signal during bad weather), but I'm about 70 miles from New York and I don't get their stations. Will a new amplified antenna help me receive these signals?

Check this website to find out which class of antenna you need:

70 miles away will probably require a large outdoor antenna, though.

^That one is commonly recommended by those in the know with HDTV. You can probably pick one up locally for much less than the $70 or so the Amazon sellers have it listed for. It may not be powerful enough for your needs, though.

My favorite is the model 4228 which is reputed to be the best.
