Any one here bought and installed one of the long range cheap antennas from Amazon. If so did it work for you. A lot of the reviews spoke highly by a large percent with a small percent posting as not acceptable.
 
I got this at Wal-Mart for $30.

It is amplified. Works great. 40 stations.

Those are on my cable channels. There are at least three channels that show oldies shows. On Saturday, it's old western all day on one channel.

I am not ashamed of watching those shows. I should have said that I am ashamed to be sitting in front of the TV. I would rather be out working. But this winter has been a 'sit in the house' winter.

Chuck Connors (rifleman) had 3 wife's and four children. He was ambidextrous,he would shoot with either hand, I saw him sign a paper left handed. :cboy:
 
we weren't getting very many channels with our indoor one. i bought a new outdoor RCA version at menards. It was around 60 bucks.. its like 4-5 ft wide by 6 ft or so long. looks kinda old school. Works great. we get around 25 channels now. before i think we got around 4-5.
 
I had the old fashioned outdoor antenna 25 years ago, and I could barely get one channel with a booster because I live in such a low-lying area. Are these modern antennas affected by that as well?

Yes. If you do not have clear line of sight to the tower, your reception will not be as good.
