Martin morgan :
Indoor aerials rarely give useful results in my extensive experience. It's a question of signal strength, not distance. 8 Miles from a smaller transmitter could well be too far away. If it is a main transmitter it could still be too far. You're better off with a properly installed roof aerial of log-periodic design.
