Your options are more limited if in an apartment or are renting the property. Indoor antennas are limited in signal reception depending on your location. Those small as seen on tv antennas that make big promises offer worse reception than regular into tv antenna. We have one mounted in our attic and in a channel search we received over 40 channels.
Viewers in the south metro should place their TV antenna as close to the north facing exterior wall as possible and point the antenna towards Shoreview. Next rescan your television set to see if you're able to pick-up more of their main TV channels along with their stations' sub-channels as well.
This antenna actually cost nothing to build because I had everything to make it already. You will need a piece of wood 24 inches long and at least 1 and 1/4 inches wide. The 8 V elements are coat hanger cut 14 inches long and bent in half with the open V 3 inches wide. 10 wood screws and washers. 1 uhf/vhf transformer. 2 pieces of coat hanger ...
Get yourself one of those $20-$50 digital amplified antennas. Read the reviews and get the one you like. We were getting maybe 14 channels on a regular outside TV antenna, and when we went to an indoor amplified antenna (which was quite small and just stuck to the inside of our glass door) we started getting 60 to 80 channels!
If you ever walk around with a portable TV or a directional tv antenna, attempting to find the best spot for a fixed antenna, your opinion will change quickly. I was dubious that I would be able to get a solid signal from the antenna farm in the Huntsville area, but I noted on the geodesic maps that I had a slot in the terrain that might make ...
The factor that made a bigger difference was antenna height and location. You may need to go with an outdoor antenna (if you are able to) or go with cable. Many of the signals are broadcast from Sutro Tower on Mount Sutro in San Francisco. Your indoor antenna may not provide sufficient reception capability, due to signal interference, etc.
2) Turn the antenna to a different direction (most antennas are more directional on UHF channels and more forgiving on VHF channels) or 3) pull on the antenna cable? Notes: Toledo's channels 11 and 13 actually transmit on VHF channels (returning to their original channels in 2009), while channels 24, 30, 36 and 48 transmit on UHF (on channels ...
The new main signal for Channel 9 should be improved, although the translator moving from UHF to VHF may be problematic. That remains to be seen, but will require rabbit ears or a better VHF antenna. A good UHF antenna should continue to receive main WSOC-TV Channel 9.

newer/HD format tvs themselves can have HD tuners internally-- in that case you can use external antenna and use the tuner box in tv to download the broadcasts--or they require you to buy an HD tuner to receive channels--like the converter boxes...
