what antenna?

[teamlund]

Hey guys, I bought a small 7" lcd for the ice shack. I don't get any signal in the shack probably because of the steel exterior. Will a regular am/fm car antenna pick up tv signals? or what are my options for a small outdoor antenna? I don't want a big set of bunnies ears on the outside of my shack.

No a car radio antenna isn't going to cut it for you.  You'll need a TV antenna.  You mentioned your shack is metal.  I would suggest you get a outdoor antenna.

Or, you could try an indoor first, this one is only $10.

Then, if your TV doesn't have a built in Digital TV decoder, you'll need a converter box.
