Has anyone had any luck with those amplified indoor antennas?
I don't want to run a long coax from the attic to my TV, which is downstairs.
But there is also a high rise building between me and the direction of the TV transmission towers so I've never had luck with OTA.
In any event, when I look at most of the stuff I record regularly on Tivo, most of them are on cable channels so OTA channels alone wouldn't be enough, though it would get me NFL games live. But most of the local NBA, MLB and NHL games in my area are on the regional RSN, so I'd have to subscribe to cable to get those anyways.
I didn't have much luck getting additional channels using an amplifier (with the antenna inside the house). Putting the antenna in the attic really brought them in, but the house was already wired for cable/dish/etc, so it was very easy to tie the antenna into the whole house.
I would add that we are about 13-18 miles from the two antenna farms here in town. One is NW of us, the other is SE of us...and it's pretty flat terrain, so most certainly helps.
