Is there an indoor TV antenna that actually works?We tested antennas near a window and away from a window, near the TV. In the tests near a window, the three indoor TV antennas that stood out for performance were the Winegard FlatWave FL5500A, the Winegard FlatWave Amped Pro TH-3000, and the ClearStream Eclipse Amplified TV Antenna.

Good performance at a low price.. Are amplified antennas any good?But our tests showed that amplified antennas weren't always more effective than nonamplified models; they can also amplify noise and distortion, and overload reception from closer stations. If you have an amplified antenna, try it with the amplifier turned off. If reception is good, leave it off.
Why is my RCA antenna not picking up channels?If your signal is good enough to get the channels you want without the amplifier, the amplifier might actually be getting in the way. Move the antenna close to a window. Some construction materials (such as aluminum siding) make it more difficult to get good reception. Re-scan for channels when you're finished.
