It depends where your location is ? I get all the possible channels 25 and counting, but then again I am an OTA enthusiast that tweaks everything to perfection.
The best possible antenna you can get locally is a Channel Master CM4228HD or the Antenna Direct DB8 8 bowtie UHF antenna, they go for around $100.
If you need info on which antenna I can help, there are only a handful of recommended and proven outdoor and indoor antennas, the rest are all snake oil that don't deliver what they promise and waste your money !
Please provide your postal code and I can check what you can able to receive from your location and which antenna to recommend.
AD DB8 is the top recommend outside antenna at this point !
Those are excellent multi-directional antennas and they'll get almost all the US and Canadian stations in the area, except WVNY (ABC22), which broadcasts on VHF13. To get good reception on ABC22, you need to combine one of the antennas EdT mentioned with a good VHF13 antenna (like this one).EdT, are thoses directional or omni ? Are directional better usually than omni ?

As for channel ABC 22.1, you will be able to catch it once CFCF-12 analog is off the air, no need for a separate high VHF channel specific Yagi.
I'd first try with the cheap $10 10dB GE amp that i mentioned earlier. It works wonders.DO i need a CM7777 preamp with a CM4228 antenna ?
