Am I buying the correct indoor TV antenna?

Postby boogs on Tue Dec 29, 2009 6:34 pm

Equipment

TV :Toshiba 32AV502R 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV
Antenna :RCA ANT1500 Flat Multi-Directional Indoor HDTV Antenna (ANT1500)

Location

ZIP Code 98110
Buildings and trees surrounding multilevel apartment building
apartment on 1st floor of two story building
Most desired stations are within 10 miles

Desired affect:

Pick up high strength signals for all yellow colored uhf and some red and violet stations using this indoor antenna. I'd like an antenna with minimal size that I can easily move around to achieve desired results. I have not purchased an antenna yet. Am I headed in the right direction? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Side note:

I also have Clear wireless internet installed and my laptop/printer/wireless modem will all be installed less than 10' from the TV and the Antenna. Do I have to move my office set-up to another room in order to achieve any results?

Thank you

Sorry, but I have no input as to which indoor antenna to buy: my esperience is that they are ALL pretty worthless.

OK I guess I'll just buy the RCA and see if it helps. I wish I could install something more permanent but I'm renting.

Thank you
