What kind of antenna do you have?

I am intrigued to dump cable/Satellite as I have no use for 75%+ of the programming they offer.

It would be nice to delete an extra monthly bill and just get weather, locals, PBS etc. Although I enjoy the business channels I can most times get livestreams on those.

Where we are, we needed to get an indoor antenna. We settled on this:

However, this one had slightly better reception, but was top-heavy and fell three times in the first day as I was moving it:

For an external antenna, this seemed to have the best reviews:

I made this one a few days ago with coat hangers and tinfoil:

Instead of putting it in the attic I put it in a large pot in the back yard. Get all the local digital channels in HD. Signal strength is 52-70.
