can someone recommend me an indoor digital antenna that works?

I've bought so many indoor ones but they all suck! Half of them can't pickup certain channels and require me to move the rabbit ears around and if i do, i lose the previous channel.

I mean wtf!!! this is 2012 and we still don't have indoor antennas that work???

also, we have external aerial on top of our house but the tv in the kitchen doesn't have the socket so i can't connect it. My external antenna works great and crystal clear on everything

Being in the kitchen is likely creating too much interference.

You could beam it from the good tv with an av sender, or is someone else using the tv in the other room?

Get an antenna installer to come and fit another point in the kitchen.

yes, but it'll be on whatever you want, if somebody else wants to watch something different, they can't.

An outdoor one.

Pay an antenna installer to put a splitter on the external and run a cable to the kitchen, it's the only way that will work reliably.

Get one of these:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Outdoor-R...item589536f2f4

It's less than thirty bucks, it's fairly easy to assemble. You don't have to mount it on the roof, without knowing the layout of your house, you could maybe stick it out a window etc, but you would get signal inside, of course it's just a question of where to put it. It's not that large, but is unsightly.

I live in a really really weak signal area, rural.

We have a large antenna mounted on a tall mast on the top of the roof. At least twice as high as the top of the very tall roof. And it's not brilliant.

But that cheapie I bought off ebay works brilliantly for the shed tv. I mounted it on the side of the shed, but it worked inside too (remember, already bad coverage area, INSIDE tin shed).

Part of the reason it works so well is because of the built in amp, but also because of the design.

Give it a go, it's worth the 30 bucks.
