TV Reception at Chillicothe

[thinkinkmesa]

Some news articles have erroneously reported that the prison was outfitted with cable before death row was moved to Chillicothe.
The inmates do not have cable and because of where the prison is located reception is very bad.
Due to prison rules and acceptable vendors, I am still trying to find a digital antenna or signal booster that works well for the Chillicothe area while staying on budget.



If you know of an inmate that has found a solution or product and they had gotten it approved, please let us know!

If you look at this page you can see there is very little they can receive with an indoor "set-top" antenna

Again; they do not have cable.

From what I understand the following product from this seller has been approved;

The antenna above this post (Leaf) worked fairly well when it was placed near a window, and a bit better when set on the window ledge outside of the window - though it is not weatherproof.

We have found that the follow has been allowed into the prison, is weatherproof, and does a pretty good job of picking up stations.
