Is this https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Installation-Reception-Channels-Support-Tvs-10ft/dp/B07YJ4TKFM your antenna? As discussed in this https://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/comments/1juut0a/supplement_to_the_antenna_guide post, provide the shareable link for a RabbitEars report for a nearby public location. How did you determine that your antenna results were "perfect"? As discussed in this https://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/comments/1g010u3/centralized_collection_of_antenna_tv_signal_meter post, using a signal meter (built-in feature with many different tv's and external tuner devices) is the only way to properly check your tv signal reception. Assuming you live in the U.S., what signal meter numbers are you getting for ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX?
the absolute worst TV antenna ever made I beg to differ. That thing mostly has a horrid reputation because Antenna Man doesn't like plastic in antennas, but that thing does have at least some VHF capability. What is actually bad about it aren't its frequency coverage and actual reception range (the whole '150 miles' is BS even on an excellent antenna), but its cheap rotor and amplifier. The plastic parts of its construction are far less of an issue than Antenna Man makes them out to be. The link I posted is to something so pathetic one very similar my store sells (to my regret) is often returned by people with less than 20 miles and clean line of sight to the transmission towers - like you can see the aircraft warning lights from where the antenna sits. OP's situation is way more a result of being behind a radiant barrier and without a rabbitears report, we don't know if the station they want is too far or in a difficult band.
https://a.co/d/03SENgFd This one on Amazon. HiDB 4k, 1080p. $20. Had it for about 6 months, no problems.
Honestly just hit Amazon and went with the top seller since it was only 19.99...here's the link to it: HIDB Antenna And yea they stopped over the air with antenna in Chicago I believe but its still allowed in Indy for whatever reason, glad it is lol
A lot of factors determine which Antenna will work for you. This one works perfectly for me in Orchards, I put it in a north facing window sill of all places. Try simple unpowered one's before moving onto fancier powered models. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YJ4TKFM?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k3_1_5&=&crid=10GDFVFNEOQZ6&sprefix=anten&th=1
