Which TV's work best with indoor antennas (not cable)?

[b]

seems like the majority of the problems/complaints so far in this
thread are related to the vhf channels. I can't believe that these
days, there are still places broadcasting on it, given the greater
susceptibilty to interference and generally crappy performance. AFAIK,
in the UK, VHF for tv was dropped back in the 1950s! Since few places
here in Europe now use VHF bands, most of those aforementioned
complaints hardly come up round here.

In the long term, I'd try and pressure the relevant authorities to
move to UHF or ideally terrestrial digital (dv3/ 'Freeview').
Remember, if they sense there's consumer demand, they're more likely to
start making the effort to upgrade their broadcasting systems.

Analog tv transmission is soon to be a moot point here in the US.
Even with the delays for the end of analog terrestrial transmission, it
will happen within the next few years.

If the OP is having this much trouble with an indoor antenna, odds are
pretty high that DTV will not be available with the indoor setup.

I could be wrong but it seems that modern TV receivers are rather
insensitive as the manufacturers seem to think that all of us have cable.
You might have to invest in a good, low-noise pre-amp. As to sensitivity
specs, I have no idea how you can get them.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am using a Motorola Signal Booster Broadband
Drop Amp with good results. I bought it at Circuit City.

VHF requires far less power to cover a given area; changing a VHF TV station
to UHF serously spikes the power bills -- I don't think you ever find a VHF
station that would voluntarily move to UHF!
