How can I pick a good indoor antenna for far away tv stations?

Question

I have the new Zenith DTT901 digital converter box. I get all Chicago stations (about 32 of them) plus sometimes Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. I think if I had a better antenna (I use wires, coat hangers, a metal shelf, other metalic items) I could consistantly pull in more far away tv stations. I can't have an outdoor antenna. Any suggestions to get farther stations without cable, and without sattelite?

Answer 1

y cant u have an outdoor antenna? that is bout the only what you will pull those other station. maybe you should just spend the mony and get cable or sattelite

Answer 2

If you have attic space, install the external antenna there. Works the same as if being outside. But after 2010, any external antenna will be useless, since all broadcast stations will be digital.
