HD OTA antenna recommendation

[MannyIndy]

I am technically challenged, so please be patient with me.
Here is what I got from antennaweb for my location.

Do you think I can get a decent reception with an indoor antenna? If so, is there one you would recommend. I live in a two storey house with some tall trees around, but no major buildings within a mile radius.
Thanks

Hey Manny; WELCOME!


Can you post you zip code please?

 

[MannyIndy]

charper1,
Technically, my zip code is 46032.

 

[charper1]

Great, thanks! First thing I wanted to do is post your AntennaWeb results in a clearer format and showing only the digital channels.

 

[MannyIndy]

I am attaching the results from antenna web with my actual address. I bought a philips silver sensor indoor yesterday and tried to connect it. I got connected only to 8.1 (wish tv), 8.2 and 8.3. The last 2 channels are useless. What do I have to do to get most, if not all the channels in the line up?

 

[charper1]

What heading do you have it aimed toward?

The Silver Sensor is VERY directional.

 

[ciwsguy]

I think I would buy an omnidirectional outdoor or attic antenna. You're so close to the Indy stations, you don't need alot of gain.

I am up here in Noblesville and have received great OTA HD picture from all Indianapolis stations for several years using both inside and outside antennas. For the last few years have used the outside Stealthtenna by Channel Master (3010). They are not expensive and I received mine free from the original VOOM satellite service. Since you must be new to HD, I am sure you don't know what I'm talking about, but this antenna works just great for me. I have used it so long that last year I repainted it! Ha Ha Good Luck and Enjoy.

I realized that the tv needs to be set to antenna as opposed to "cable". I did that and now I have decent reception from a good number of digital channels, 18 the last time I did the setup. In my case, the indoor antenna seems to work fairly well.
