People seem to have forgotten that broadcast television still exists, and not only is it free, the quality is BETTER than cable, satellite or internet TV, which is compressed. ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Fox are all available free. And there are none of the disputes between TV stations and cable companies over fees for "retransmission" causing blackouts and ever-increasing rate hikes.
Beware the huge amount of scam antennas offered on Amazon and eBay. Broadcast TV travels "line of sight" Your antenna must be able to "see" the top of the broadcaster's antenna -- generally on a 1000 ft tower. Your indoor antenna can work for up to 15 to 25 miles. An antenna on your roof up to 75 miles. That's it. These below are all scams.
Indoor antennas CAN work. I use this Philips antenna which gets most of the channels in a bedroom 25 miles from the transmitters:
You will be much happier with an outdoor antenna, even if mounted in the attic.
Winegard, Channel Master, Clear Stream and the GE and RCA branded products by Jasco are good.
