Tv antenna upgrade?

Any suggestions for an antenna upgrade? Camper came with a Winnguard air 360 and it doesn't pick up much. Thanks

A TV antenna is always going to be dependent on where you are at and how far the transmitters are. Some areas are always going to have poor reception (especially rural areas). You might want to consider streaming and using a service like Hulu Plus, which offers local channels (through streaming). With that, get a WiFi repeater and/or stream through your cell phone data plan. I have recently switch to Amazon Fire Stick (from AppleTV) for the device that installs on the TV. Hulu Plus is a service that you pay for monthly and can be played on a Fire Stick.

My old camper picked up stations where ever we went but the new one is horrible. And the air 360 is also the radio antenna and we don't get hardly any stations. I have checked the connections. There has to be some thing better out there. We have a limited data plan so the internet isn't an option.

The new "Omnidirectional" antenna's they are using now are CARP ! IMHO. Never had trouble in our Jayco with the "Directional" one and were always able to find stations. Seems with the one we have now, you'd have to camp next to the TV station to pick up their signal.
