[…]of other channels, including my local CBS and NBC stations. What happened?? Well, I went on the Station Finder and noticed that my local CBS station, KCBS normally on channel 2.1 on my TV, had moved and had an RF channel of 34. Well, I know that modern TVs have the ability to map a channel’s physical RF channel to a different tuner channel on your TV to make it so the channel number you know and love never changes, even if the physical frequency changes. So, theoretically, I should have been able to see KCBS on channel 2.1, but […]
[…]box, you’ll need a broadcast TV antenna. Before buying anything, enter your zip code into the Station Finder and make sure there are signals in your area. If there are, here are some low-cost indoor antennas that I recommend. Can You Use a Roku With a Tube TV? Yes, but you’ll have to use the 2018 Roku Express+. It’s the one with the three RCA cables on the box: On Amazon, you’ll have to look under “other sellers” since this is an older model. The Tablo Option Note, if you do use a Roku, you have the option of viewing broadcast TV channels […]
[…]your best bet, at least to start with. The same goes if have mostly green channels on the Station Finder. If, on the other hand, you’re getting yellow and red channels on the Station Finder (and you’re not able to mount a rooftop antenna), then the HD Smart Bar might get you more channels than a non-amplified antenna like the Leaf. Also, if you’re using a Mohu Leaf or other indoor antenna, and you have a flakey channel that drops in and out, the HD Smart Bar might be able to pick it up, especially if it is a VHF […]
[…]service for you, first make a list of the channels you want. Then, go to my Streaming TV Service Finder and enter them there.

While an outdoor antenna will you should be able to get the green channels using an indoor antenna.

Watch, then cancel! Recurring […]
[…]Your Antenna So, as part of good disaster preparedness, I’d recommend first visiting the Station Finder to see if there are broadcast strong TV signals in your area. If there are, you can get a low-cost indoor antenna. Set it up to make sure you can receive local stations. The next time your cable or Internet goes out during a crisis, you’ll be glad you have broadcast TV as a backup! – […]

[…]the Mohu Leaf. Get the cheaper non-amplified version if you have a lot of close stations on the Station Finder. The more expensive amplified version doesn’t perform much better unless you live far from all stations. (In full disclosure, I have received free Mohu antennas for review purposes, but I have also received lots of other free antennas that I don’t recommend as much). Connect your converter box to your TV, then your antenna to your converter box. Follow the instructions that came with your converter box, and you’ll be set to watch the broadcast channels in your area. Tweaking […]

Click the station’s call letters so that it expands and you can find the real channel there: Once you’ve found your station’s actual RF channel, try tuning to that channel instead of the station’s regular channel. Note, you will have to add […]
[…]So, save money and get a quality antenna to start with. A VHF TV Antenna You Can Mount Indoors The Station Finder will tell you if the channels in your area are VHF (It will say “Lo-V” or “Hi-V”) or UHF. VHF channels are more difficult to receive. Even “green” (strong) VHF channels might be hard to pick up with your indoor antenna. If mounting an antenna outside is not an option for you, check out the indoor/outdoor Antop HD Smart Bar antenna. It can stand up anywhere in a room, or you can mount it on a wall. See […]
[…]playoffs, as well as some college basketball and football games. Enter your zip code into the Station Finder to see if there are channels in your area. If you have a modern TV, then you just need to get a good antenna and plug it directly into your TV to get those channels. If you have an old tube TV, you’ll need a converter box. Note that Dodger baseball has been blacked out of regular cable and broadcast TV in Los Angeles except for a few games. To watch the Dodgers in LA, you need the Spectrum SportsNet LA service. […]
[…]Monica, California, about 27 miles away from the TV transmitters on Mt. Wilson. Even though the Station Finder reports many green (strong) stations, my signals are not that strong inside my condo because the windows face the wrong direction. My TV I have only one TV in my condo. It’s a ten-year old 46″ Sony LCD with built-in digital tuner in my living room. Nothing unusual here. My Antenna After testing many indoor TV antennas, the Mohu Leaf has prevailed year after year in my tests as the best overall indoor TV antenna. Below is the latest version. My Antenna […]

No antenna can pick up stations if you are too far from the transmitter towers. I hope this is helpful to those of you who are not able/allowed to use a roof antenna, but still want better reception than an indoor antenna can offer. I’ve discovered that you can get many of the benefits of a rooftop antenna with a small balcony antenna, but without a lot of the hassles. – […]
