Does anyone have a rec for a reasonable (around $100 or so) indoor TV antenna? [View all]

I absolutely will not affix anything to my beautiful new solar reflective roof, so it must be an easy-to-install indoor one.

I live in the Memphis region, which is a miserable swamp, only about 200 ft. above sea level.

I'd like to get one tomorrow before asshole's tariffs kick in.

TYIA!

PS - I want to watch my childhood heroes, Rocky & Bullwinkle and one of our community members posted that they are on me.tv.

Rabbit ears from your neighbor's trash pile, a yard sale, or a thrift store. mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2025 #1

OK SheltieLover Feb 2025 #2

Got it. But seriously, rabbit ears work just fine. mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2025 #3

Start at a yard sale or a thrift store. mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2025 #5

THere are zero yard sales here - not joking. Crime is too high. SheltieLover Feb 2025 #6

Maybe before you spend money for an antenna, try putting alum. foil on the rabbit ears, see if that works first. SWBTATTReg Feb 2025 #7

TY, but I don't have rabbit ears. SheltieLover Feb 2025 #8

What did you have in the old days? You aren't one of those CABLE PEOPLE, are you? NT mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2025 #9

I had a normal tv. SheltieLover Feb 2025 #12

Hmmm, maybe you could attach the antenna lead from the TV to that giant alum. heat barrier in attic, it might just do SWBTATTReg Feb 2025 #19

Tyvm for explaining! SheltieLover Feb 2025 #13

Take a look at that NYT article first. It's only two weeks old. mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2025 #15

Ty! SheltieLover Feb 2025 #16

Everything in the article was $50 or less. NT mahatmakanejeeves Feb 2025 #17

Any good hardware store has suitable ones for around $10 PSPS Feb 2025 #11
