    Best and smallest antenna for an apartment??

    Ice, Yes. I probably wouldn't go too extreme, the 22 or 33 model would probably suit my needs just fine. The majority of the good OTA channels here in my area are not too far away and all in the same general direction and fairly strong signals. When I get my home in Cedar Bluffs, NE...

    Best and smallest antenna for an apartment??

    Ice, I started getting set up with OTA reception, but also ended up moving so I am kind of out of the loop for everything currently, both satellite and OTA. When I began, I just purchased one of those $20-$30 RCA antennas that look like a miniature "hotplate". Because of the local terrain...

    Should have been trying this sooner! (OTA DTV)

    NavyChop, Thanks for the notion on the Stealthtenna, that's worth checking into and I am building a list of possibles now. I am not going to get overly excited about buying anything at this time since the indoor antenna that I currently have is doing a pretty good job for the channels I am...

    I think that the IPTV is better, they carry Red Green more often. That is a deciding factor for me. RADAR

    Should have been trying this sooner! (OTA DTV)

    Here is one antenna that kinda caught my "antention". Channel Master CM3000 Suburban Outdoor Amplified Omnidirectional SMARTenna TV Antenna (CM-3000A) from Solid Signal. Omni-directional, fair range, small, easy to set up, amplified, non-intrusive in appearance and not too expensive, etc...

    Should have been trying this sooner! (OTA DTV)

    ICE Looking at the 41 dBu contour maps for the Sioux City channels, I am right on the blue arc between Blair and Fremont at the bottom of the image. I don't think that I need to put forth a lot of effort or expense to improve my reception for the Sioux City channels. But, if they come in as...

    Should have been trying this sooner! (OTA DTV)

    ICE, I also used the tvfool calculator / locator, but I entered my exact coordinates (41.56 / -96.47). This gives me quite a distinct advantage over the vicinity you checked (which turns out to be Winslow, NE) as I am 150 feet higher in elevation and I am also just a few miles nearer the main...

    Should have been trying this sooner! (OTA DTV)

    I am using the TV tuner of a SHARP AQUOS. I also used the two sites mentioned (tvfool and antennaweb). I can definitely get all the Omaha and Lincoln stations they list, plus Sioux City and there seems to be a few more. I don't get all of the stations that those cites list in the "hard to...

    Should have been trying this sooner! (OTA DTV)

    Just thought to experiment this morning with my OTA reception. All I have is an 8"x9" RCA cheapo indoor DTV antenna from Wally World. Never really used it before. By experimenting with the direction and height of the antenna in my living room, I was able to pull in 23 different channels. I...
