    also, there are amplified and non-amplified antennas. I live in Cheyenne and just wanted to get a couple local channels that my TV currently picks up but are fuzzy. I ordered a "35 mile range" indoor non-amplified from amazon for $11. It will be money well spent if it picks up the local channels with a clear signal.

    it is very dependent on signal strength from your antenna being able to receive, and the signal it's receiving. Fox might pick up amazing, but CBS crappy in a west facing, but switch in an East facing. There is no "perfect" antenna.

    Reminds me of being a kid and having to go outside to rotate the antenna pole about 40 degrees to switch between VHF and UHF reception.
    I live too far into the mountains to even attempt to get line-of-sight reception now.
