i just moved into an apartment and trying to get some ota channels. the place i was at before i had a roof antenna and got 70 or so channels but that place burned and now i'm trying to get a few ota channels to keep up with shows we use to watch. it seems the tv can get some local channels but only news no programming.

i'm in a west facing apartment and with a 8 bay flat antenna using just one side for 4 bays i can get 2 networks. now it may be all i can get but maybe some have an idea what antenna may be better for inside the room reception.

we are on the ground floor and on a west side and the towers are all on the east side. i know about tv fool and how to locate the towers but to avoid spending tons of $$ to just test antenna is not an option.

so if anyone want to try and help out please let me know.

i can post a photo of the antenna but here is one on eBay that is the same type
