Outdoor TV antennas

[Sparky]

So I ditched Comcast and need an idea on bringing in the local channels. Eventually I will probably get a Roku for the kids. Still have the old tube TV right now.

I picked up a digital antenna at Walmart for about $30. Brings in all the local channels-about 32. It may take some positioning as the digital signals seem to be sensitive to location. It's an indoor one.

Just reread that it's an older tv-may need the converter box.

My home is made of cinder block so indoor ones have a hard time.

I ditched them a couple of months ago, still have internet though, can't give that up! I got an antenna from Costco, I think it was 39.xx, and I just got another one from Amazon. They work great. One is hooked up to my Tivo(that I am finding I don't really need), plus we have Amazon fireTV which gives us access to HuluPlus, Netflix, and Amazon Prime TV. With those we pretty much get everything we need.

I am pretty sure that you will need the converter box.

I'm in an aluminum mobile home so positioning is everything.

Have the same kind and it works well.

I have a Mohu Leaf 50 that I actually have inside on my first floor on a East facing wall I can get 58 ish channels. Granted many are religion and Spanish channels, but many are useful.

I googled around for a Coupon code and got a factory refurbished one for 50% off.

I liked the Leaf so much I want to try the Indoor/outdoor antenna they offer in my attic. This is what I bought:

I have not installed it yet... but it will feed all the TVs in my house.

Good info on orientation, positioning, types and even roll-your-own (we are in CO, you know).
