TV Reception / Digital Antennas
Just wanting to know what fellow campers are using if not hooked up to cable or satellite dish. What type of digital device / antenna are you using for TV reception? Thanks in advance!

A paper clip stuck in the television coax cable "in" plug will pull in all kinds of digital signal. No special antenna, and anything that is advertising "Digital" as something special is selling snake oil. ANY antenna will work to pull in over-the air stations.... even that paper clip. Don't believe me, try it!
Our trailer has an old school batwing antenna with the "booster????" (Ok SoundGuy... you convinced me!) We pull in over 60 channels at home, and when traveling, of course it depends on location.
Currently we are at Boonsboough State Park, Kentucky, and our batwing is pulling in about 30 different stations. Of course, the antenna has to be rotated some to pull different stations in better, but still, it's no problem at all. Signal strength is pretty good right here!
And of course, every time we move to a new location (camping), we have to re-scan the television.
