Can anyone recommend an OTA outdoor antenna?

Tons of options and I'm spinning in circles. I'm in BTR and would like a nice outdoor antenna to aid me in cutting the cord! Thanks!

I'm not sure about outdoor. But if you go with an indoor option this one has worked flawlessly for 2 years for me. I have them set up on 2 different TVs

I bought this one several years back. I found it at a discount store for $30. It is outdoor, but I mounted it in my attic on a stud. Came with the mounting bracket. I also added an electrical outlet in the attic and plugged in a signal amplifier into it. I get tons of channels in Birmingham. You should be able to pick up everything in BTR with it. There are a couple of bolts where it attaches to the pole that you can hand tighten, then aim it and tighten down all the way. I had to tweak mine once, but I pick up ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox/CW/PBS and a few others.

I mounted this i my attic and it works well, but not 150 miles well.

Which ever you land on, make SURE its capable of UHF and VHF. You'll need both for the BTR stations.

I have the same antenna in my attic and I'm getting 30 OTA channels.

You don't need to spend much more than $50 to get a signal if you live in BR.
It's all about whats in your line of sight. I can put the cheap Mohu leaf in my kitchen window, and den window, and catch the lafayette channels on top of the BR ones.
The "better" antenna i have in the attic only catches the BR channels. The difference between going through the roof, and going through the window makes a difference.
My buddy can barely catch anything and he lives less than 3 miles from most of the BR satellites. He's got big arse oak trees all in his yard blocking his view.

I installed an 50 mile Amazon Basic one in my attic. And by install I mean hung the cord over a rafter lol. Its so thin and light weight doesn't take much.
