witch outdoor antenna should I buy for some free HDTV?

I have tried 3 different indoor antennas and they work great and I get many channels in HD and analog, but there some channels that I get almost fine quality in analog only and cant get it in HD. So what I'm asking is what outdoor antenna should I get, I don't care if its big or small or wall mounted or goes on a mast, maybe an antenna that goes in the attic would work

Right now I'm using an antenna that goes on top of my Plasma TV, it has like 30 or so db boost with 2 die-pole and one loop, I think its an RCA. I tried 2 other ones before, one with more boost but the antenna I'm using now is still the best I have tried, we have some tall trees in the area but I think an antenna on the roof would clear them.

I know wal-mart has some but I don't know if they work well or not, please help thanks.

Update:

I went to antennaweb.org and it only list a couple of tv stations for my area and the ones it does not list i get fine lol weird I found some antenas but I'm not sure if they handle well, there is not any customer reviews :'( still not sure on if the $40 one will work vs the $250

    The best TV antenna site I've found is here. They should be able to answer all of your questions. http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/

    Yes...All you need is a UHF and/or VHF antenna but you will need a OTA HDTV tuner though. You will also have to be in range of a tower that is broadcasting a HDTV signal. Some TVs have OTA HDTV tuners built in, or you can buy external modules. To help demystify things here. The broadcasting towers are still broadcasting a radio frequency in the ultra or very high range (UHF/VHF). The only difference between digital and analog broadcasts is the information derived from the modulation of that frequency (see second link).

    Ok, go to antennaweb.org. It chooses an antenna based on where you live so you get the best signal.Make sure your antenna has a good return policy in case it doesnt work.
