NEALSMO said:I cut cable about 8 years ago. Had no luck using any type of rabbit ears inside the house. Found a recommendation for an outdoor antenna from an OTA forum. It's looks like a square plastic DishNetwork dish. Cost me $80. I mounted it on the gable of the highest point on my roof pointed in the middle of where broadcast towers were located in my city (found a map link on that same forum). I get dozens of local (San Diego) channels and a dozen Los Angeles stations depending on the weather.
I wish I could remember the site I used so I could share it.
Probably Antennaweb.org. A wise man posted it earlier in this thread
