Tailgate Antenna Question
Posted on 9/16/14 at 11:20 am

What's a good antenna to get for tailgating. We are students and can't afford a satellite. We really only care about ABC and CBS so we can watch those games. Thanks!

I'd probably go with one that has wires to connect it to the TV, but that's just me.
Does anybody know how to google anymore?

I don't remember the brand but I used one a few times that worked really well on campus. I do remember that it had a power cord that plugged into a regular power outlet. Don't get the cheapest thing you can find at Walmart because it likely won't work very well.

Amazon Antenna
This one has worked for me perfectly fine. It worked 10x better in a tailgate setting than the $75 leaf antenna I've used

Why not stream it through student wi-fi w/ espn, abc & cbs apps?
Can't get much cheaper than that!!!!

I got the powered Mohu leaf, and it really isn't any better than my $9 set of rabbit ears. Just get those from Radio Shack or something.

If remember correctly the tv towers are actually pretty far from campus. So the basic rabbit ears are not going to get a good signal. For about $100 you can get a long range hd antenna.

I've had good luck with rabbit ears or a cheap directional hooked to a good amp like:

Make sure and get a good quality amp as some are junk.

I got an HD antenna from Best Buy for like $20 a few years back. It's flat and white, about the size of an iPad. Has one wire that hooks directly to your cable connection on the tv. Works perfectly!
