I did say that would give bad reception. all you said is that 'indoor reception is terrible'. as with everything else you've said, that's vague. you didn't say how terrible or what type of antenna it was. you also didn't say whether you put it in a window or more likely put it next to the tv, which could make a significant difference depending on what types of material in the walls of your house/condo. a high gain antenna could work well, possibly even a directional antenna if all of the stations you want are broadcasting from the same direction (likely from nyc). or as has been said before, just get a roku or apple tv and get whatever channels you want off the 'net. there's a huge selection, from big names to local channels to niche private channels, even 'those' channels which you don't want anyone else to know about. |
