If you have this type WINEGARD BATWING crank-up antenna with added dipole you probably have the best you can get.
This antenna has a built-in PRE-AMPLIFIER controlled by the Antenna WALL PLATE Panel by pushing in a button on the Wall Plate. You also have to switch your HDTV mode to ANTENNA and rescan again after pointing this antenna to the local towns..

These round looking low profile antennas only work good when you are right on top of the local transmitting town.
