OTR Indoor Antenna

There are a few "Indoor Antennas" out there. the latest and greatest per the TV ads is good old fashion RABBIT EARS like from the 1970's.. What can I say

Limited range and if you are living in a metal RV forget about 'em.

The winegard Sensar IV is my first and only recommendation

It is amplified (Means stronger signal delivered but it also amplifies noise so this may or may not be a plus) it is HIGHER than any other RV antenna (See notes) and it is directional (Giving it more range) it outperforms a Jack at the same height.

Height is might . I proved that back one day in 1978 when I was chatting with some far off ham radio operators and another ham tried to join in. he did not make it. HE was running about 160 times the power I was running and he did not make it (I could see his house from the 21st floor observation window) I had the HEIGHT (about 250 feet)

The only thing better is a Residential high gain antenna mounted on a TALLER mast.

Sorry I should have been more clear, I meant for the sticks and bricks.

I'm dumping cable TV and their constant price increases.

It will depend on the distance from you house to the broadcast antennas. I am 33 miles straight line. I have a large outdoor antenna and get great reception but my neighbor has tried a couple of indoor antennas without success.
My daughter lives 5 miles from the broadcasters and gets great reception with an indoor antenna.

The S&B we bought after FTng is 'down in a hole' so OTA Channels and Internet is limited.

Tried a RCA Flat Panel antenna that goes on the wall.
Plugged into TV I would hold it in different spots while doing multiple scans for channels. Got a few at each different placement but no one place would pick up those that were available

When FTng had purchased a single array roof top antenna from ACE Hardware and used it hoisted up on top of ladder when RV Roof top didn't get channels
So I mounted it on top of Two 10' sections of pipe and scanned/re-aimed it until I got 8 digital channels...each with several sub-channels for total of 25 channels we wanted to watch.........deleted roughly 15 other channels that we didn't want or would watch

Location, terrain & line of sight make/break if/what you can recieve with OTA Antenna be it inside or outside

Point is......nothing beats HEIGHT when it comes to OTA TV reception

Try this link. Or pick one up from Walmart and give it a try. If it doesn't work you can take it back.

Nothing has changed since the beginning of TV about TV antennas. The bigger the better. The higher the better. Keep the cable as short as possible and use high quality cable. Have a rotator so you can aim at different broadcast towers. A pre-amp at the antenna will normally make a difference. Digital TV didn't change anything about receiving TV signals. There's no "new technology" that magically made a tiny indoor antenna any better today than it was 30 years ago.

I use old rabbit ears and get many channels. I am within 10-20 miles of the stations.

I have a relatively inexpensive indoor antenna from Walmart that I bought for home when the sat company stopped transmitting FOX network during price disputes. And later used it when the sat company and NBC were also fighting. Worked well for the couple weeks we used it both times. We are about 35 miles from the transmission towers.

You can also buy a larger, greater range antenna and install in the attic that would likely give better and more reliable reception if you are very far from the towers. There are a numbet of transmitter tower locating web sites such as this one.

Thanks for all the info, much appreciated

The necessary size of the antenna is directly related to the distance of the signal. Active amplification (separate 120V plug for power) always trumps passive amplification.
