Been enjoying free-only Tv since 2009. Surviving on a cheap, indoor multi-directional: RCA ANT1450B.
For $30 and 30 second installation, I cannot complain. I'm in a strong signal area, but there are 2 channels that I would like to receive that are currently intermittent at best: WJBK-DT & CBET-DT.

Even though tvfool has taught me antenna's hate being indoors, I still love 30 second installations. I'm wondering if you guys might have a better indoor antenna suggestion that may serve my purpose.

I am also interested in hearing a suggestion for the rooftop route. Seems like the RCA ANT751 is a fairly common solution...
Possible problems: Do you think I will have trouble receiving CBET, as it is 90 degrees E from me and the main cluster of towers to the N? Is an outdoor Omni-directional a good option for this situation? Also, another site suggests that I would need a pre-amp to receive CBET. I just can't imagine that as I am only 15 miles from the tower, but maybe that is just my ignorance speaking... or maybe their's.

Thanks alot guys. Great site and loads of good info on here. Cheers!
