In your experience, is there any indoor FM antenna that is better than the stock T-Robbin?

I had a great Winegaard and Finco outdoor antennas in the past, but an outdoor is not a current option.  So.....is there any indoor FM antenna that actually out does the ribbon that comes with the tuner?  Thanks.  I am anywhere from 30 to 100 miles from any worthwhile stations.  I will be using a couple of units including a Magnum Dynalab Tuner.

"I’ve also had pretty good luck with an inexpensive Radio Shack Cat. No. 15-1874 sturdy rabbit ears antenna"

I use RCA ANT111E Indoor Antennas (rabbit ears) on 2 of my tuners - about $10. Not sure if they are any better than a dipole but they are not worse and look a hell of a lot better.

The Beam Box was the best in my experiences.

It was revealing with the Marantz scope tuner.

Is putting the antenna in the attic

an option? I use a Stellar Labs

Omnidirectional and it works

pretty well.

Thanks to all for your input.  I am currently in a rental location and no attic or outdoor possibilities.  I will be moving in the Summer to a more remote location near the "Frozen Tundra" of Green Bay.  I do wish there was an online or internet solution that did not involve compressed signals and sound degradation.
