Thanks for the replies guys...
What are my options for inside an apartment, no attic, no option for anything outdoors.
The best I am going to get is near a window.
I take it that the new digital broadcasts are within the UHF spectrum?
Is there a resource that shows the regional transmitters on a map?
If I knew where the signal was coming from I could get the antenna into a postion with as little shielding between it and the source.
Similar situation as yours and sadly "Good Luck". You can to to antennaweb.org (might have to google it) and it will show you a map regarding transmitters vs your location. IF you are lucky they are close and in the same direction. IF they are, then you are GTG. In my location they are in three different areas which means I am SOL.
I've tried everything out there it seems like. There are some good antennas out there, Antennas Direct makes some good ones, I was thinking about putting one on a mast in my living room but I'd have to rotate it everytime to get the signal. So I opted for basic cable with my H.S. internet (actually cheaper that way, go figure) and have my computer networked through my Xbox/T.V.
My success with indoor antennas has been the Magnovox and the Radio Shack (round one that has a rotor inside). The Magnovox is a lot cheaper and did as good a job. There is no "I'm in the right area" with digital, you either are right on the target or not.
