One small piece of advice, that you probably know. For some reason, if you
connect the antenna to your VCR, instead of directly to your TV, you will often
get many more channels. We have pretty standard Radio Shack rabbit ears
antennas on our TVs (1st and 2nd floor) and by running them through our VCRs
(which we otherwise don't use) we get not only ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, UPN, PBS,
and the WB, but also the other PBS channel 23 and 35, a public access channel
that has programs in Korean and Polish and sometimes another weird station.
Good luck,
Greg

Salutations, gentlefolk,
I need to get an indoor TV antenna. Am on the second floor, here in West
Philly
- would have a view of the Roxborough transmitter towers if 'tweren't for the
houses across the way.
Advice sought, many thanks in advance.
Yours, John Desmond
