Anecdotal DTV Reception Report

Went to Circuit City, and saw the new Samsung STB on the shelf...
None at Circuit City, found one tonight at Best Buy in Delaware tax free
for $179.99
Up till now I have been using the DirecTV H20-600 [made by Samsung?]
but last week, it began rebooting every 10 minutes, so I took this as a
cue to go get a
DTB-H260F.
With the DirecTV box, I could get only 11 DTV channels [some have as
many as
5 SDI programs, most with 1 HD and 2 or 3 SDIs].
With the DTB-H260F I now receive 17 channels, but still can't get the
Philadelphia Fox station,
WTXF-DT. Are they off the air?
Still, this is quite an improvement, and includes a Lancaster, PA
station WGAL, that is at a ~75 degree azimuth from the
backside of the parabolic UHF antenna, and also WNJS-DT the New Jersey
PBS station that is near ?Trenton?
Wonder if could add more by putting up a big VHF LOG antenna?
