HD OTA Antenna

[FiberOptic]

Just looking to get some advice, I want to purchase a small HD OTA to pick up the Milwaukee stations. I have Directv and live in Kenosha, and ideally I just want a small one to sit near the Tv. Is there one out there that will work for me?

Be prepared for most people to tell you to point your antenna south and pick up the Chicago channels instead, or at the very least, get a rotor for your antenna that gives you that flexibility. Many here are quite disgruntled with the Milwaukee channels.

This one is pretty good:

Manufacturer: TERK Technologies
Part number: HDTVI

I am assuming that I can just connect this right into my HR20 and I will be good to go? :rock:

Good luck getting CBS58HD from Kenosha!

Ubet. I live in Twin Lakes and was picking up Chicago with this antenna in my basement (ground level).

Thanks I went ahead and purchased the amplifier version for $35.00 on Amazon with free shipping. We will see how it goes

Got it yesterday and picked up all the Milwaukee stations and a couple Chicago ones

Wow. I have never heard of a Terk antenna working good for someone. Maybe the company has new owners.

I had the same antenna and it was worse than a pair of old rabbit ears as far as picking up stations.

I've got the same antennae and I get a 90% or better signal strength for nearly all of the Milwaukee digital channels.

Well so far no problems, the only issue was my wife said "what is that thing"

[kevbeck122]

Mine must have been defective. Even the analog OTA stations were fuzzy to the point of being unwatchable. I think 10.1-6 was the only thing I could consistently get because of the VHF rabbit ears on it.
