Hello all-

I'm waiting for a Sammy 260 OTA receiver.
Antenna web says I will need a Medium range (Red) outdoor antenna.
Two of the stations are VHF.
I have tried to search tried to search this site but there is just too much info to figure this out...

Is there one best for this application?

I have been looking at the Stealthtenna and the SquareShooter...

Scooper-

I should have said I am renting the top floor of a house - therefore I can only get away with something smaller... Thank you however. Anything else on a smaller scale?

Not really, for what you specified. If you can live without the VHF (or can use rabbit ears for them), you might try using the SilverSensor. Or, you can take that antenna, kind of hang it, pointing it out the window, toward the stations.

Is the attic not a possibility ?

There is only a crawl space with the AC unit up there... I'll have to take a look...

SquareShooter no good?

What is your zip code, so we can see how far away you are from the towers?

WKYC (NBC) is your only digital VHF, The Silver senser and Rabbit ears should get you what you need. Practically all your stations are south of you, so you can use a pretty directional antenna. They're not even all that far away - 5-10 miles away

Interesting... maybe only an indoor antenna? I was prepared to put one on the deck outside...
