WARNING: This is a "soft hijack".
What kind of antenna do you guys use for OTA (Over The Air) signals?
BRIEF: For 20 years a friend used rabbit ears plugged into a VHS machine then daisy chained to the TV's coax input.
Stations began dropping away about a month ago. She and her sister (2,000 miles away) decided the TV was going bad so a new one was purchased.
Now she's going up a ladder of antenna complexity and has gotten some of the stations back. The store (Best Buy) encouraged her to buy ever larger ($) antennae and return the smaller ones as she ascends the ladder.
Been using this antenna for the last 5 yrs and it has served me well, have it mounted on a ten foot pole on the roof. Running the TV's auto scanning it picks well over 100 channels.
