Where we have our trailer we are losing cable unless we want to pay for it, we had basic cable and honestly I wouldn't pay for what that was and I really dont want to pay for any kind of premium service/internet or wifi as when I am up there I'm not there to sit inside and watch tv. We have a streaming box at home we are able to download movies on to and we will just bring box with (especially when weather doesn't allow us to be outside like most of last spring) to watch movies as they store right on the box so no internet connection or wifi needed. So on those days we are trapped inside or want to catch news or weather, can anyone recommend a real good indoor HD antennae? there are so many out there, Amazon has their top picks, Crutchfield has theirs and consumer reports has theirs and all different so hoping someone who has used one can recommend one, we are rural and between Green Bay and Milwaukee, also in a wooded area.

I tried a couple different indoor antennas
could not get them to work at all
they suck
even in the northwest burbs in hellinois when I lived down there was a no go
went with an outdoor set up on the roof and could not be happier
only way to go
especially if u in da woods
update
my neighbor just bought a boosted indoor antenna today
let u know if it works

much appreciated! I really don't want to have to have an outdoor one if I don't have to, rather not drill holes and run cable inside

Before you venture into an antenna regardless of indoor or outdoor, check to see what stations are available & the distance from your location. Also check what kind of reach that particular antenna is capable of, most have limitation in how many miles they can pick up the stations signal. Some have a greater reach than others. You can search the tv station availability in your area & see how far they are from you to help you make a decision on your choice of antenna. Channelmaster.com is one of a few sites to check out. It's too bad that technology has eliminated the analog signals, now everything is digital.
I thought about streaming through phone or using as a hot spot as I do have Amazon Prime and Music and I think I also have Amazon video with it also, phone signal up there never an issue except when Road America is having bigger races, then signal becomes almost nonexistent, but again if weather is nice the TV is last thing on our list. I have done a little more research and I was assuming the connection to TV would have been a HDMI cable but most of them still use the coaxial cable into the ANT on back of TV so.... I agree an outdoor antennae may be better for me as I do have a coaxial cable hook up outside the trailer so I wouldn't have to drill or run any additional cables or wires so that will likely be the way I will go. And when I'm not there I can just disconnect and put in shed. I don't think I will have any issue picking up any channels in that area as you stated, some of the antennae's say they have a 1200 mile range which I find very hard to believe. Just looking for something I can have in the event I cant be out doing something.
