For my use case of the time, external not possible, my next step would have been directional internal.

<div><br></div><div>Yes, this one is highly rated, but the rabbit ears are huge and it is "tippy" (no heavy stable base).<br><br></div><div>This one is mentioned in the above comments, and highly rated on Amazon, where it sells for $94 (as opposed to The Source's $150).<br>

My concern would have been not wanting to keep fiddling with antenna direction. Directional this way, move to directional another way, repeat.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agreed. <br><br>And rotators for outside antennas would be problematic with ice, wind and such.<br>
<br>Some people mention two antennas outside to get around there, but I am first trying to evaluate how far indoor will get me before deciding to take it outside.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
Would be interested in your posting any similar anecdotal results if you make a home made version of any of the above.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>The one thing I am expecting is that the aluminum dish one will get different channels, since it is a loop and gets the other set of frequencies (UHF vs VHF).<br>
