If you're able to get your HD/SD signals w/rabbit ears, you are very
fortunate. A lot of folks can't and wind up needing an outdoor antenna.
Count your blessings. I live less than 20 miles from multiple TV
transmitters yet any kind of an indoor antenna or attic antenna just
wouldn't work satisfactorily. Even the TERK mounted outside was all but
worthless. I was very disappointed in it. I ended up putting up a little
corner-reflector yagi from Rat Shack, Cat # 15-2160 for $23.99. Works
great! Beware, Rat Shack sells re-labelled TERKS, (RS cat numbers 15-2183,
15-2185 and 15-2190) They're junk. Avoid them.
