My Single Mom Life

I am determined to get the converter box to work correctly, to pick up all the channels, and I refuse to subscribe to cable and be totally ass raped by Comcast and Verizon Fios on the price, so I'm always messing with it and thinking of ways to make it work better.

Today's idea was to go outside and see if the rooftop antenna is still hooked up the the wires.
It's not.
I can't climb the roof nor can the teens, so there goes that idea.
And if I do find someone to climb up there and hook the wires back up, I run the risk of the whole antenna coming down in a hurricane or just really strong storm winds.
That's why the wires aren't hooked up now that I recall.
It was during the third year we lived here, and a hurricane was passing through, nothing major happened to us or the house, but the winds pulled the antenna down off the roof.
Berry, my then boyfriend, went out there after the storm was over and put the antenna back up, but the wires must have been unhooked and he just didn't notice it or something.

The second issue with getting someone up there to fix it is this.

That is a wasp nest, and there are literally a dozen of them along side the side of the house where the antenna roof access is.
I apologize for the major picture blur, but I refused to get any closer.
There were at least 20 of them flying around when I went out there.
The little buggers are living inside the AC holder as well as on the kitchen window and the phone box.
They are every where on that side of the house.
Next time I go shopping, I need to buy like 5 cans of killer, and just go nuts spraying them all down and hopefully killing them all.

The antenna I currently have is obviously not powerful enough to pull in the digital signals, so sometime between now and February 2009 when all the analog broadcasting stops, I need to buy a new antenna.
I cannot figure out which indoor hdtv antennas would work best.
It definitely needs to be indoors so I can move it if need be, and be away from the weather, easy access and all of that.
Anyone have any experience with picking out the best possible one?
I need help!
I don't want to have to spend more than $100 though, so if anyone out there knows about this kind of stuff, chime in and tell me what would work the absolute best.
