Default tv antenna, any simple standards that work?

Got a small tv in Luxembourg, no channels found (trying both SECAM and
PAL). I suppose I need an external antenna. Something cheap will likely
do the job as signals should be good in this area, but are there any
pitfalls to avoid in order to avoid a 100% useless antenna?

Hi Jan

My personal favorite indoor TV antenna for use in metropolitan areas is
the "Apple Antenna" It is a plastic apple that is attached to the wall and
located several feet from the TV set. The Apple Antenna is then connected
to one of the two antenna terminals on the rear of the TV with a length of
copper wire. The instructions mention that the Apple might need to be
relocated for best reception.
