Default A Small Indoor FM Antenna

Lots of rabbit ears TV antennas on e-bay -- as low as $2.99 plus shipping

Also Radio Shack may have them

I have a product called RadioShark that is like Tivo for radio. I'm in an
area where FM is a bit hard to get. I would like to receive at least one
station at 88.7 clearly. There are several in the 88 to 89 range that would
do as well. It would be good to have an antenna that does it. I definitely
recall a simple dipole that looks like a T that is made from some TV lead
wire. That's been hooked to an FM rcvr not far from me, but has never
worked to well. Possibly because I have to mount it on a nearby wall and
under a shelf. It seems to me that years ago that a rabbit ears TV antenna
included FM. Certainly the length of the ears were about right. They seem
harder to come by. Something like a desktop model would be good, since RS
is hooked into my computer in the den. Any suggestions?
