Back again. Plugged in amplifier and retested antenna outside on deck with great success. Now pulling in 14 channels INCLUDING PBS just sitting on deck floor!

Can anyone recommend an outdoor "amplified" antenna to replace the RCA indoor unit I have? FYI, a) deck is all wood, and b) deck gets lots of wind... There is an electrical outlet so can plug in for power... However, management will NOT permit drilling any holes in structure...

Again, thanks to everyone for all your help and suggestions!

Tv antennas and Tv reception

Here is a Flat Coax Cable that will get the coax from the outside to the inside. In the search box at , http://www.solidsignal.com , type in , holland 144823 . I suggest using the antenna you have , you can get creative with Duct Tape or Box Tape and Plastic Bag and seal the antenna for use on the balcony. If you will like to use a outdoor type antenna then use a , http://www.antennasdirect.com/store/...VHF-Combo.html , http://www.antennasdirect.com , Clear Stream 2 Complete. The Clear Stream 2 Complete will most likley not need a amplifier with the antenna on the balcony.

The ClearStream-C2-VHF-Combo suggested by @Electron would be a very good choice. It's weather proof, but small enough that some people are able to find an acceptable indoor location if signal conditions permit.
