I got a Samsung TXP3271H (with built-in HD tuner) this past Thursday.  I hooked it up to my rooftop antenna (large UHF/VHF on a rotor) on my single-story house.  There are no tall buildings nearby, but the house is in a somewhat low area.

The tv has no numerical signal meter (only signal bars like a cell phone has) so I'm not giving any of those stats.

Stations that come in with few or no glitches:
--Milwaukee Area--
WISN 12
WMVS 10
WVTV 18
WPXE 55
WTMJ 4
--Chicago Area--
WGBO 66
WMAQ 5
WLS 7
WTTW 11
WFLD 32
WSNS 44
WPWR 50

Stations that come in around 50% of the time:
--Milwaukee Area--
WMVT 36
--Chicago Area--
WYCC 20
WGN 9

Miscellaneous:
I discovered last night that I can get WNDU 16 (NBC) out of South Bend, IN, quite easily.  I don't know if this is a 100% or 50% station, but it's been there every time I've checked since I found it.

I've gotten WCPX 38 out of Chicago on a few occasions, but not with much regularity.
