OTA antenna recomendations needed

[Shadowtester]

Ok here is my situation I live in a 1 story house and all my OTA HD stations are UHF. The problem is they range in distance from just over 2 miles away to almost 20 miles away and they are in a 180 deg arc. I really do not want to use a rotor so I need a antenna that has a field of view of almost 180 deg any sugestions/recomendations?

The Channel Master 3000A claims a range of 30 miles for UHF and 45 miles for VHF, and covers 360 degrees. I have not read any reviews about it. If someone has one I would love to hear how they like it. I don't know enough about it to recommend it one way or the other........Rich

I'd try the Zenith Silver Sensor indoor antenna. It's cheap, portable and should pick up the 20 mile stations IF they broadcast high power.

There is a dirrectional entenna that is availabe for $25 at Radio Shack. you could buy more than one antenna and cable them all into a combiner. this way you could point each antenna at each direction that has stations. This is what I am doing at my home and I have a friend that has done the same thing with great success.

I have an Terk indoor antenna and i'm very happy with it. I live in Toronto-Ontario-Canada and i get the Buffalo channels with good reception.

I'm using the OLD outdoor antenna (may be 15 years old) on the top of my roop with Voom receiver. I can pick up about 30 channels with about 10 in HD
You may not need the fancy HD antenna. Just try the old antenna first before you spend your money

I just purchased a Jensen indoor antenna, and so far HD reception seems to be pretty good. The price was $39.00

Any chance of picking up signals at 55+ miles with indoor antenna??

I am using a $24.99 Directional antenna from Radio Shack and getting stations as far away as 50 milesu ust may need more than one. Also try Antennas Direct. they have some high end high coverage antennas.

No, You need elevation and a preamp for that distance.
