Can you put the antenna in your attic? As long as you don't have a metal roof or roof decking with a radiant barrier, the tv will work fine.

I have a DB2 antenna I made myself from 2x4's coat hangers and cookie cooler sheet that works pretty good inside the house.

Kind of like this one, but I used some chrome plated coat hangers for the elements and some stripped copper home wire to connect the matching transformer.

Then you just need to aim it correctly.

The DB2 and DB2 and most of their knockoffs aren't tuned to get VHF-Hi, and it sounds as if

Here's a picture of my Gray-Hoverman antenna I built:

I made that same antenna from some plans I found on the internet. It worked much better than I had hoped. I got ten channels of HD. Great little antenna for medium and high frequencies.
