OT: What's the best HDTV antenna setup?

[koder]

In principle, yes.

Put the antenna where it will get the best reception.
Play with it to determine where that is.

Perhaps what you may need is a 'T' connector, depending on your setup.
Radio Shack and Fry's have lots of options.

Try to use as few connectors as possible. 
Each one saps signal strength.

At one time having a UHF antenna on the TV was considered the epitome of
in.
The more knobs and gadgets on it the better.

Thanks, plugger friends, for your responses.

So, may I ask one more related question:

Since there are cable jacks in three rooms in our house,
could I just relocate in the unsightly "set-top" UHF antenna
that I now have sitting on top of the TV in the living room and
perhaps use a double-male coupler (is there such a thing)
to plug that simple antenna into the cabling that runs through
the house and thereby obtain a signal for the other two rooms?
