get two of these
https://www.amazon.com/STELLAR-30-2431-Fringe-Television-Antenna/dp/B079B4ZWJ4
then position them in all directions
connect them with one of these
https://www.amazon.com/CHANNEL-2532-2-Way-Splitter-Combiner/dp/B00006JPE1/
if you need to hook up more than one tv then use a distribution amplifier
ok so here is your www.rabbitears.info report
look on the Direction (True) column and you can see where your best stations are coming from
the best ones are all around 35deg
then you have 146 good and 65 Fair and 188 at the bottom ehh
when you look at the Channel Column it reads like this
6‑1 (25) where 6 is the virtual channel on your tv and 25 is the channel that they actually broadcast on
Your (real) station is the only one that really matters because that is the station your antenna has to pick up so you can watch the channel
Channels 14 and above are UHF stationsChannels 13 and below are VHF and 7 and below are Low VHF and often hard to get
So for every station 13 and below you need an antenna that does VHFUHF stations are pretty easy to pick up and antennas that do VHF will do UHF really good normally
For VHF you have 9, 13 and 8 that need a VHF antenna
Channels 27 and 9 look like they have duplicate stations on there and normally that means they cancel each other out but in your case it looks like the duplicates are just sharing of the channel so you should be good and not have Co-Channels
So you want to point your antenna at real.. not magnetic.. real 35 degrees to get your best lineup of stations
problem for you is CBS and ION but it looks like you have another CBS wttk in kokomo which is also at 35degrees and coming in strong for you. WTTV Bloomington might just be a loss for you or it might come in because it is rather strong.
Hopefully you get WBXI it is close and strong and it has START which is not the worst station to get and START is going to have another station join it in a month or so.. its not 24/7 sports but its something else to turn to you know..
Channel 30 has stadium which is like college sports.. and it has Quest and thats a great channel its all Discovery and History channel shows.
15 is too weak but it has a sports and weather station.. i don't think you will get that
Ok so what have we learned?
Nothing... ok then...
your best set of stations is at 35degs true north not magnetic ... point the antenna that way and make sure it is on a flat side of your roof and nearest the wall and there are no metal obstructions like an attic fan or brick outside or aluminum siding... its best to go through the flat wall and not the sloped wall because when snow falls it and lands on the sloped roof it will block your signal.. also if you have a metal roof you are screwed you need to mount your antenna outside.
but you have decent signal so unless you have another building blocking you... or lots of trees or maybe a hill in the distance... something... then you should get good reception even if you hook your antenna right to your tv and not put it in your attic.. but if the attic is a better position because you can run the wire across the attic to the north side of your house and put the antenna right up against the wall.. then attic is a good plan
Ok so what type of antenna?
Roginator's suggestion might work it is a small antenna for High VHF and UHF
Antennas Direct ClearStream 2MAX TV Antenna might work real good for you but they are expensive .. you can get them reconditioned on Ebay sometimes for $35 or so...
This is a very light weight antenna but it does well
https://www.amazon.com/Mediasonic-HOMEWORX-HDTV-Outdoor-Antenna/dp/B01C1YL16Y
Those Flat antennas don't really do well for attic antennas.. i mean you can but they don't
If it was me I would get one of those mediasonic antennas or get the antenna that Home Depot carries that is very similar.. i think its an RCA antenna.. people like the home depot one too
I would try to get those northern stations first and see if i got a bite at the southern stations.. sometimes they will scan into the tv but not lock.. then i would turn it and see if I could get the southern stations.. There might be a point where you can direct the antenna and get both but maybe not... often if you point at the weakest stations the better ones will come in anyway..
If not then if turning the antenna south gets good signal and turning it north gets the other signals real good I might try getting 2 antennas and combining them with a combiner.. combiners look like splitters but normal splitters normally will not work.
This is a good cheap combiner and if you needed to use an amp it will pass power through it but the most important part is that each port says ... In / Out .. so that means you can do a 2 antenna into one out cable
https://www.amazon.com/CHANNEL-2532-2-Way-Splitter-Combiner/dp/B00006JPE1
so thats where I would start off...
you could also try combining the antennas you have but often those amps have to be turned on or the antenna does not work at all and as others have said that amp might be too strong.. probably is too strong .. so that means you can't use it with the amp on or off .. too strong or no signal..
Its tough but you got a lot of really strong signal so when you figure this out you should be very happy with your reception and with your channel offering.
boy that was a long one ... heh
Alright, new problem. So far thanks for all of the insight here! AntennasDirect has the VHF bar now and it's helped a lot with Fox especially.
AntennasDirect + PBD antenna's cheap amp = great quality on the channels I've been using. Pulls 42 channels.
AntennasDirect + PBD antenna into a splitter + cheap amp = similar results to above. Pulls 42 channels.
With both of the above, I don't get ABC, but Fox runs great.
So I went back to the PBD antenna setup (with its amp) and I get 49 channels, and ABC comes out like a boss. Any ideas? I was hoping that with the splitter, I would have gotten ABC back. With PBD, I lose NBC lol.
I'm going to try an official "combiner" and see if it makes a difference:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006JPE1
I figured the Verizon-provided "splitter" I used above could double-function as a combiner. I mean, it didn't kill my service at all, just didn't combine the way I expected.
I do rescan each time FYI.
