We put a full sized, old fashioned, out door antenna in the attic, dropped the wire through a closet on the main floor down to the basement. Boosted the signal and plugged it into the house’s cable wiring. Perfect reception in every room and you don’t have to readjust the antenna after a big wind.
We picked up all stations from the local city, and most from two other cities between 50 and 70 miles away.
Total investment was about $100 including cable and booster. We used it for 10 years before we moved.
I bought my antenna at Best Buy, looks like a closed laptop that I put against the inside pane of window nearest TV for best reception. Plugs into wall outlet and into TV. You do an auto scan on your TV and you’re watching all the major stations and their substations plus a bunch of retro stations, PBS, religious channels, some home shopping. No payment except for the original equipment and the price has really gotten reasonable. I get 27 channels in the Pittsburgh area. I notice that Fox and some substations are adding more sports.
