What would be the best choice? I have a outdoor antenna and Rabbit ears. Both do pick up about the same. I am about 30 miles from Austin. The one thing that I am using Rabbit ears is that I have a UHF Video sender for my Direct TV. My outdoor doesn't do well picking it up. I can pull in San antonio pretty well with the outdoor antenna. What will be more reliable?

Outdoor Antenna or Rabbit ears for DTV?

My experience has been that if your antenna gives you enough signal for a watchable analog picture you will have enough signal to pick up the DTV signal of the same station... IF the station is doing DTV at full power.
From my home in far south austin I can pick up the DTV versions of the analogs I already receive from Austin and San Antonio. I didn't lose any stations and I didn't gain any stations.

Thanks, I may use my outdoor one, its about 20 feet up. Its expose to pull in 75 miles according to Radio shack..., I have it pointed to Austin and it can pull in San antonio well also. I may find another way to send my Direct TV over to my TV not sure yet on what to do on that without it effecting my router // phones.
