WTB: HDTV off-air antenna

[Dmitriy]

If anyone has a spare antenna to sell please let me know.

Thanks

What type of antenna are you looking for? An indoor UHF, medium size outdoor UHF, large size outdoor UHF, Yagi, bowtie, etc? I use a radio shack 15-2160 medium size outdoor yagi antenna in Denver and it works very well for me.

Check out antennaweb.org, there you can put your address in and it will tell you what type of antenna you need to see each station in your area. Radio shack has them pretty cheap.

What can you recommend for that?
But I would prefer indoor antenna if it is possible.

And I only need the D-TV channels

Your link doesn't work, but if you want to try an indoor antenna, you really can't do much better than the radio shack 15-623 UHF double bow tie antenna. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued, but you might get lucky with radio shacks in your area. If you can't find one out there, I do have a spare one that I'd let you have for $20 plus about $6 shipping if you wanted to try it. You're getting your HD OTA from Mt. Wilson, right? From everything that I've read over at AVS about Mt. Wilson, you may need a highly directional antenna depending on your location in relation to the towers and how far away you are.

Try this link http://antennaweb.org , and type in this zipcode92612 ;)
No towers, and my house is a two story building.

I don't put a lot of stock in antennaweb because they don't have anything listed correctly for Denver's digital situation, but after glancing at that screen, I'd say you need a roof mounted yagi antenna to get the blue stations, and may be able to get by with an indoor antenna to get the rest of them. But, that's just a guess - have know way of knowing until you actually hook one up and try it.

I have a Radio Shack stick antenna I never used still in the box. LMK if you're interested.

I tried a regular indoor uhf antenna that I have. And with a lot of adjusting I got 3 DTV channels with an average of 70% signal st.

Then it sounds like you need something larger, mounted higher up. You probably want to stay away from the amplified antennas because they usually introduce more noise into the signal than your receiver can filter out, resulting in lower SS.
