Good indoor antennas for DTV DXing?

For UHF, I've tried several different antennas, but the best so far is a tie between a cheap bow-tie, and a Zenith Silver Sensor. The only advantage the ZSS has is that it offers some rejection to its rear, as opposed to a bow-tie which is bi-directional.

For VHF, cut-to-length homemade dipole antennas work well. You should be able to get by with one cut for Channel 3 (~ 63 MHz) to get 2 through 4. You'll need another cut to 82 MHz for 5 and 6. Or, cut an antenna for each individual channel for better results. For VHF-High, the length doesn't seem to be quite as "picky." I get decent reception from 7 through 13 using an antenna cut to Channel 10.
