Got rid of cable and looking for INDOOR antenna. Neighbor got one from
Best Buy, about $50, looks like fishbones? gets great reception in her
window.

I went on-line & quickly overwhelmed by choices & not knowing what's
important,

Desirable: ?

Multi-directional. Important in flat area with good reception?

VHF +and+ UHF. ? Some stations still broadcast VHF ?

Price: Varies widely. Don't want to penny-pinch but also not be sucker
for fancy equipt for gaming, etc.

Digital: Only way to go?

Your recommendations welcome, keeping in mind this is flat area, So Calif
coastal

Be aware that some homes (typically built in the past 10 years or so) may
have foil backed insulation/sheetrock in the walls that can play hell with
reception even in strong signal areas.
