[QUOTE=&quot;Rickideemus, post: 133755, member: 12677&quot;]Melissa, your situation presents an interesting challenge. Does your east window have a clear shot to the transmitters. In other words, are there any trees or big buildings at eye level to the east? You could try one of those &quot;flat&quot; antennas that look nice in a window, but I doubt it's going to be strong enough to make you happy. The alternative is to get a 4 bay antenna and put it as close to a window as possible. It might need a little &quot;dressing up&quot; for appearances sake. I'm thinking of something like this: <a href="http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/30-2425">Stellar Labs HDTV 60 Mile Fringe Bowtie Television Antenna 30-2425</a>That should get you the &quot;yellow&quot; UHF channels at 125° in your Fool report, right down to KTCA PBS, maybe even lower. That's IF there's no unusual obstructions, and the window is big enough. That just leaves KARE NBC, which is VHF. We might be able to cover that with a dipole, if we ever get that far.Sorry there's no easy or quick solution to your problem. You could try an HDBLADE100 <a href="http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=HDBLADE100&amp;ss=306789">Solid Signal HD-BLADE Indoor Digital Flat Indoor TV Antenna</a>, which is supposed to get some VHF, but at 60 miles from the transmitter, I don't have a lot of confidence.Rick[/QUOTE]
