What is the best indoor and outdoor antannas for an analog tuner ?

There is really no such animal. OTA antennas need to be matched to each users specific situation. What is your zip code?

I perfer a good indoor antanna, so I don't need to install it on my roof. I bought an indoor antenna, and the reception is a piece of crap.
Something to fall back to, when sat tv is down.

You may prefer an indoor, but your topography and distance from the transmission towers and how all the different affiliates broadcast; all go into determining what you must have. Posting your zip code will help figure all this out.

My zip code is 94132.

Sweet! You are 3.6 miles or less from all the towers.

KNTV-DT 11.1 (dig chnl 12) NBC is VHF High

You have 3 channels at 118/120 degree and all the other are at 19 degrees.

You could look into the highly recommended Zenith Silver Sensor #ZHDTV1/Z which is indoor but VERY directional and will need to be aimed at each heading (uni-directional).


So I would possibly look into getting a multi-directional (can easily mount outdoor or in the attic) such as:

Winegard PR 4400
Channel Master CM 4221A
Antennas Direct DB2
Channel Master CM 3021
