I currently have the Terk TV5 and it seems OK.. but I'm wondering if there are any other indoor antennas that cover both UHF/VHF? I'm not sure if I'm picking up anything on VHF right now (I'm on the outer realm of the Chicago suburbs), but I know I'll lose a few channels if I don't have it. There's a very popular antenna on Amazon I wanted to try instead of my TV5, and it appears to be UHF/VHF. http://www.amazon.com/RCA-ANT1650-D...0027FGW3K/ref=pd_ts_e_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics

I don't have any others I've seen that I've been too interested in, anyone have anything they've had good luck with?

I had an RCA very similar to that one. I Ended up returning it though & instead got the Terk FDTV1a & was able to pickup everything I got from the RCA plus CW which the RCA couldnt get. I paid about 30 bucks shipped from ebay BNIB. The same model best buy had for about 60..

I am not sure if this terk is the best, but it did better thent he RCA. I am still not getting NBC, but I am not sure I am going to bother since I pay for Analog cable anyway & I have a HDHomeRun that I should be getting back from RMA soon that can get my locals in ClearQam anyway instead of the antenna.

i have tried many antennas. i currently have a clear stream 4 mounted on a pole at the side of my house.

they carry them at bestbuy, the clear stream 2 or clearstream micron is a smaller more indoor friendly version. It is a UHF antenna by design, but it is able to pick up lower spectrum VHF. This is the best antenna i have ever tried, and it is quite small for the performance it delivers.
