Anonymous | It depends on your location relative to the TV towers. If you have a direct line-of-sight, you may get by with an indoor antenna. HD signal is a funny thing. It is either all or nothing. If the signal is weak, you will have no picture at all (or a lot of square blocks) and, depends on your TV, a message telling you that the signal is weak. |

Just click on the "choose an antenna" button, then enter your zip code; the list of stations comes up. Also, I've heard a lot of awesome reviews about the "Silver Sensor" indoor HDTV antenna. Something so light and toy-like seems to be a joke, but not so! If your TV has an HD tuner built in, you're ready to go. Otherwise, you'll need an HD receiver with 'antenna in' to receive and decode the HD signal for your tv. |

RuralChuck Unregistered guest | Bigfox - Did the attic installation work for the Terk TV38 antenna? I'm considering doing the same thing in a violet zone... |
