I did not see a proper fractal at Rat Shack. They did have a flat thing 
but the one I saw did not have the proper specs for TV.
The Terk and RCAs work. They are spreading all over NYC and most people 
just hang then in a window. I too live in an apartment with no outside 
access. I never got analog but the fractal gets more stations than I 
knew were there. Try best buy. Those folks with directionals have a 
problem, they generally do not work well with DTV.
