Since the switch to digital in the US, I'm running one TV off an inside antenna. It is, according to the specs, a very good antenna but appears to pick up a rather narrow beam at the digital frequencies I can find.

I get (usually) four of the seven known local channels, but two of those disappear if the wind gets above about 25 mph (which is 80% of the time here), or if it's raining anywhere in the county. The antenna alignment has to be adjusted if the wind direction changes.

Maximum distance to what I think are the nearest relays for the local channels is about 15 miles, but reception is, at best, "poor" on all.

But I do get a strong signal from one analog station from Oklahoma City (180 miles away), now that there's no interference in the analog frequency bands. Unfortunately that channel broadcasts nothing but paid commercials for about 16 hours per day.

I likely will put up an outside or attic antenna eventually; but web searches and calls to local stations and TV sellers gets no information that's really useful for finding equipment that will improve my reception. They all assume you want cable or dish, and the thieves whe push those are supposed to solve all the problems for you.
