I'm still cracking up every morning I turn the TV on in my winter home in Florida! I bought a $56.00 dollar antenna from walmart.
All it is is an 8x10 paper thin square. The thin square is mounted on my wall with velcro on the back and Attach coax to it and coax with small amplifier to TV and I get over 20 channels!! :B:B
These work on a boat and RV.
