The antenna isn't a problem - as long as the OP didn't want easy
portability. ? I used one of these fractal units for an elderly
friend, in the nursing home - to save him paying for cable TV -
when he only needed a few local stations anyway. It worked just fine
perched inside on his window sill. Minor position adjustments were
required to fine tune the TV signal.

Finding a "radio" is another matter - I'd be tempted to get a used
cast-off 19 inch LED TV and use it . .

I suppose that depends on how far you are from the tower. I am using a
"75 mile deep fringe" Yagi antenna and it is barely enough to get
towers 30 miles away. Those little flat panels they sell on TV are
useless.

Since the FCC auctioned off the VHF high band, we now have a VHF low band
TV station around 60 mHz. A 5 foot rabbit ear is minimum requirement, and
that channel has at least 4 sub channels. People with little UHF antennas
are lost in the shuffle.

The home-made fractal antenna, linked above, picked up 3 - 4
TV stations. Location Brantford Ontario.
