This massive (29″ x 24″) attic-mount TV antenna is on clearance at Menards for $14.99. Per their web site, it is in inventory at each location I checked. (Except for my native retailer – I grabbed each of them.) YMMV
Menards is at the moment doing their “11% rebate” deal. Mail in a kind and the rebate portion of your receipt, and get 11% again as a credit score for a future buy. (Not a verify / debit card / and so forth.) If you store at Menards ceaselessly, the rebate lowers the efficient value to $13.34 + tax.
It’s 4.5 stars [amazon.com] at Amazon (66% 5-star), and this deal is half of their present sale value. ($30, usually $35)
Includes a mounting bracket, a brief pole, U-bolts, and so forth – all the pieces wanted to mount it in your attic. (Does not embody the RG6 TV cable wanted to attach it to your TV, or splitter to attach a number of TVs. RG59 cable can be used, however RG6 will give a stronger sign over an extended distance.)
IT’S FOR ATTIC (inside) USE ONLY – HAS A FLIMSY PLASTIC FRAME AND WILL NOT HOLD UP TO WIND/HAIL/ETC. But it is greater than similarly-priced out of doors antennas (even earlier than this clearance value), so ought to give a greater sign.
This is a reasonably directional antenna, excellent for suburban-to-semi-rural areas. It’s in all probability not your most suitable option for inner-city with tall buildings, and/or distant TV stations in a number of totally different instructions.
To verify the course and distance of over-the-air TV stations in your space together with antenna suggestions, go to https://antennaweb.org and enter your ZIP code. (This antenna would probably fall below their “Medium directional” designation. But after including an in-line amplifier, I used to be in a position to efficiently watch many of the channels they point out would wish a “Large directional w/pre amp”.)
My expertise: I’m within the middle of a 300k-people metropolis, with few buildings over 3-4 tales. My native TV stations are all roughly the identical course (inside a ~35° arc) and are 5-35miles away. Mounted in my attic, it picks up far more channels than I acquired with an indoor amplified antenna positioned close to my TV, and is the same as a conventional “yagi” type antenna beforehand in my attic. Obviously, your mileage could range.
