I'm trying to get so!e local channels for my TV. Haven't had an antenna since they went digital. Got myself a square one and it doesn't get a single channel. I went and bought an amplifier and the scan showed 7 channels but theyd only work for a few seconds then nothing. I live in a major city. What setup should I get for some TV?

Go here and type in your address to see what the recommended antenna type and placement is. No matter what you're gonna want to get an amplified one.

It just says I need the most basic which obviously isn't true. If it helps I can only have it indoor.
The kind you have can't be adjusted you have to move it and then scan it to see what channels you can get. Also don't cheap out on them. Get one that is really damn good with an amp with a large range. Or if you don't care get an outdoor antenna and bring it inside as they are much more powerful than indoor ones are. Also do >>56999500 to find the best location to face it and then scan to find channels. Getting netflix with an antenna is a big fuck you to the cable companies and is the best combo.

Are u in a strong signal area? You might want to check. I know you said you are in a city but you can have black spots. Did you check what your neighbours have? I am in a medium strength, none of the indoor ones worked for me. I kinda gave up. From memory you might have to place it n the right direction..but that could be total bollocks.
Also heard of people who swear by the amplified ones and people who think it's fake...so prepare thyself for the responses here. Best of luck anon.

Watching tv in this age.
Update I went an bought an $80 one from Best Buy and it got 6 channels I one location but none of the channels I wanted. Relocating it has only gotten worse reception. $150 is like the most expensive antenna they have, seems like I'm going to have to get that one just to see some local news.
