    I have a coaxil tv cable wire in the truck and its hooked up but its not that great. What would be the best antenna to buy and is it easy to install since the cable wire is there already? thanks

    It really doesn't matter. The move over to digital really screwed us drivers when it comes to TV reception, because a poor signal doesn't degrade and become snowy like the old analog signals did. It's either crystal clear or you have nothing. Just about all the portable antennas are the same, you might find a directional antenna out there that works ok. The problem is setting it up to work at one location is more art than a science, and we're in a different location every day, then traffic passing by in the truck stop will make the signal fade in and out.
