I went to using a Channel Master a few years ago,and just bought the newest model tonight. They are having a $100 off sale with free shipping,so I bought the newest model and a antenna they have on sale for $14
At home I have a RCA antenna (made in America)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024R4B5C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 in both my house and my workshop,and pull in 39 FREE HD broadcast channels at home,and 43 channels in the workshop. The antenna there is mounted a little higher. I am also 54 miles from the closest broadcast tower and the antennas are rated to pull in stations up to 50 miles away,so I ain't complaining.
I bought the newest Channel Master tonight to put in my motor home,and bought the antenna from them instead of the RCA because it was cheap. If it doesn't work to suit me,I'll throw it away and buy another RCA.
The Channel Master tuner is basicially a TIVO receiver and recorder hooked to your antenna. The basic one is what my old one is,and since it has a tiny hard drive in it,you have to buy a removable HDD to use if you plan on recording many programs.
The newest version has a built in 1 TB HDD,as well as a HDMI port to plug in another if you want. It is on sale now for the same price as the older base version. TIVO function with a 2 week channel schedule if you have a wi-fi or direct internet connection. If you do,you can also stream a bunch of streaming video channels,like the big station in Chicago,Russia Today,etc,etc,etc. I didn't include these channels in the number I receive because I was only counting broadcast channels.
Pretty easy setup,and suddenly you can receive free tv and record it again. This is especially nice for those of you who love 50's and 60's tv shows because there are LOTS of them there. One is a dedicated Sci-Fi channel that specializes in REALLY cheesy sci-fi movies from the 50's and 60's. A few weeks ago there were having a "Godzilla Dance Party Week",and showing nothing but Godzilla moves,with clips of various Godzillas in a dance competition between shows. Some of the shows were in Japanese,but who the hell really cares about dialogue when watching this stuff? Make up what they are saying in your mind as you watch it.
Also stuff like Alfred Hitchcock Presents,Davy Crockett,Gunsmoke,etc,etc,etc. Click on the link below and you can figure it out from there.

Add a ROKU 4 to it,and pullin around 4,000 stations,plus HBO,Showtime,etc,etc,etc if you want to pay a fee.
