Had cable for a few mos. 10+ yrs ago. No tv in the past 10 yrs. Zero tolerance for liars.

But now someone here at DU said Rocky & Bullwinkle are played on Me.tv. so I'm thinking of trying to get an antenna.

Although, now that I think of it, the aluminum radiant het barrier in attic will block signal, right?

In my mind, if foil on rabbit ears helps signal, my entire attic should pull in everything out there, but guessing it won't work that way.

Does anyone have a rec for a reasonable (around $100 or so) indoor TV antenna? [View all] SheltieLover Feb 2 OP

Rabbit ears from your neighbor's trash pile, a yard sale, or a thrift store. mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2 #1

OK SheltieLover Feb 2 #2

Got it. But seriously, rabbit ears work just fine. mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2 #3

Start at a yard sale or a thrift store. mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2 #5

THere are zero yard sales here - not joking. Crime is too high. SheltieLover Feb 2 #6

Maybe before you spend money for an antenna, try putting alum. foil on the rabbit ears, see if that works first. SWBTATTReg Feb 2 #7

TY, but I don't have rabbit ears. SheltieLover Feb 2 #8

What did you have in the old days? You aren't one of those CABLE PEOPLE, are you? NT mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2 #9

I had a normal tv. SheltieLover Feb 2 #12

Hmmm, maybe you could attach the antenna lead from the TV to that giant alum. heat barrier in attic, it might just do SWBTATTReg Feb 3 #19
