The best known VHF antenna is "rabbit-ears" - a small, poor performing indoor thing. This antenna and other VHF indoors can work only if you live close to the towers. If you are located in weak signal areas, things on the VHF band are getting complicated. Deep fringe VHF antenna has to be big, and therefore heavy, difficult to install and expensive. That's very unfortunate but true (in UHF band though, you can get away with a much smaller antenna). Another point to remember is that the VHF band is splitted into lower (channels 2-6) and higher (channels 7-13) portions. These are two well separated frequency ranges. Simple indoor antennas cover both of them, but high end directional VHF antennas typically don't. If you are buying a VHF antenna make sure it covers the channels you need.
We list VHF antenna models sorted by customer reviews rating from highest to lowest. Keep in mind that some of the listed VHF/UHF combo antennas are excellent on UHF band and are pretty weak on VHF band. These antennas may have got their good rating for their UHF reception only. So be careful with the ratings if it is VHF reception what you are interesting in.
