HDTV Antenna & blueray wireless

We have a typical old fashioned style roof top antenna strapped to our chimney. It came with the house when we bought the place 20 years ago. We're in a major city and can pick up around 25 channels from DC and another handful from Baltimore. One thing working in our favor is that the antenna is directional and we have it pointing at downtown DC and Baltimore is in the same path an hour's drive farther away. With the new digital channels, you don't get fuzzy channels or channels with static or snow. If the station is too far away, like some of the Baltimore stations, the picture will be perfect for a minute, and then it will freeze for a few seconds or get pixelated for a few seconds.

Antennaweb was very accurate for us when we were checking what we could get. Actually, that's not true, we got more channels than they said we would, but they are sometimes pixelated or frozen.
