I still have to fuck around with the bunny ears sometimes because you're right: poor HD signals just show up as nothing. I wouldn't assume that a fuzzy SD signal automatically implies an insufficient HD signal, though.
It took me a few months to get my antenna pointed in just the right direction to get every station without fail. And you need to get above 20% signal strength to be able to watch the station without problems. Or at least that is what my TV tells me. I am in the 60%-80% range at my house for all of the stations that I should be able to get.

If I have nothing to do, I will build this new antenna design and mount it inside my attic.

I just watched that video for the first time. Wow. That was too funny. And probably too true at the same time. There was no way a non-AV person would have been able to follow that.
