Looking for a good HD Digital Indoor Antenna

I have two TV's, one Standard Def and one Hi-Def and since I just got rid of satellite will be using OTA programming.
Does anyone have any good suggestions for antennas? I've looked at Terk and their HDTVA and HDTVI look nice. I want something that I can hang on a wall or lay somewhere that won't take up a lot of space and for that reason I like the Terk FDTV2, FDTV2A, and FDTV1A. I also like the size of the Solid Signal HD-Blade. I should add that I'm looking for an internal antenna.
Any opinions of the above or any suggestions?

Thank you for your help.

Try going to AntennaWeb - Home to see what channels you can get and what antenna is needed to fit your needs. You can also try TV Fool . I used to use antennaweb but now I use tvfool.

I used the information found here:

Erecting an Antenna

More specifically:

Comparing some commercially available antennas

I also used information regarding what frequencies are used in my area (see the links given to you by ellisr63 above) to determine which antenna would suit me best. I ended up making my own VHF antenna, cut to the right size for the frequencies used in my area, and bought a UHF antenna based on which frequencies are used in my area and how different ones performed according to the charts at the link above. And, of course, I also based my decision on how big I could stand for it to be. And I bought the amplifier recommended at that site. I ended up with a medium sized outdoor antenna that I am using indoors, as I am renting and it is in my home theater room, not in my living room, so how it looks does not matter much.
