I am 35 miles away from the broadcast antennas, and I use a simple bowtie antenna, which I hide behind the picture above my TV. I also use a basic amplifier.


Both should be available at your local Radio Shack or the like. You'll need to get a 300ohm to 75ohm adapter as well (that piece at the bottom of the cord for the bowtie, so you can hook it up to your tv.)

It is a low cost solution that works better than any commercial solution I've tried (short of an attic antenna.)
