The big ole outdoors antenna on a 30ft. pole with a signal amplifier works for us to get out big 4 stations (with their respective substations). We get it rigged all up and use it for 10 years and then find we don’t watch tv anymore. Streaming web is about all we do.
It’s worth reading the article if you are in the market.
There was a lot of testing of antennas.
I think you might have better luck with a antenna that can be aimed.
Don’t be suckered by some claim that an antenna is “digital” or “digital ready” of any such rot. Pure snake oil, any given antenna will receive digital and analog TV signals equally well.
But out side that range an outdoor one is much better.
I bought this one called 'Able Signal Amplified HD Digital Outdoor HDTV Antenna' on Amazon for $35 and put it on a pole outside the house. (it rotates too.)
If you live more than 60 miles from a broadcasting station, an HDTV antenna is a waste of $$$.
Your only choice is cable, satellite dish or Internet streaming service.
An HDTV antenna works great in an urban or nearby suburban area for signal reception.
Good luck.
I dropped cable TV Saturday. Comcast bumped the cost $26/month and couldn’t explain it other than the price of my bundle went up. They also noted another $5/month increase is coming in March.
So I’ve had this antenna in the attic for years: http://www.amazon.com/Winegard-MS-2002-Antenna-without-Cable/dp/B001DFZ5HO
I connected it to the splitters that were channeling the Comcast TV to my 3 TV’s. I get 87 digital channels. Granted, only 37 of them are in English or non-religious (I live just north of Houston).
This saves me a little over $100/month - but best of all, none of my money is going to all those left wing crap channels..
I did keep the broadband and I think I made the Comcast retention person cry.
Hmmm... RF bookmark
Bump....
