Winegard and Channelmaster are the two made in USA go to brands. Since some of the "new" HD channels are on high vhf, the old analog 11, 12, and 13, you need an antenna with some elements which work on those VHF channels if you want good all channel reception. The "when in doubt, add confusion" mentality of the regulators means the old Channel 2, which used to be a 6 megacycle wide slot at 54 megacycles - the very BOTTOM of the TV band- is now, in any given market, located on whatever UHF channel the existing channel 2 was reassigned to. Despite what the flobdobbers say, for the same antenna height and radiated power, HD TV doesn't provide the same coverage.
There's no free lunch. Like a searchlight, the better range of an antenna, the narrower the width of the beam and the more accurately the antenna has to be positioned. Often a rotor is needed if you want signals from two different markets. Also, loss in the coax increases with frequency, the best way around this is a preamp right at the antenna.
Business has been good in the low loss coax, high gain antenna, and preamp departments since the FCC "improved" television.
BTW, we never had a Channel 1 in the US or Canada, by the time TV was fully authorized here, after WW2, what would have been Channel 1 was filled with military and commercial two way radio. It was implemented in much of the rest of the world, and since there are times when high 40 megacycle signals where channel 1 would have been can travel great distances there used to be a hobby which involved buying a European set and watching for long haul Channel 1 signals. Australia and New Zealand TV was seen here in the US if the local two way radio systems were quiet. The British islands in the Carib which used Channel 1 were also seen regularly by watchers on the Gulf Coast.
