Ahhh... glad I ran into you. What do you recommend?

If you live close to a town where there are TV towers, even the cheapest little devices, even the flat mats you hang on the wall will work alright. If you live a little further out you might have to spend a little more money (typically about $30). You can get one of the amplified directional antennas with a motorized mount. They are a gaudy looking, cheaply made and designed to have a life span measured in months. Here is a link to the last that one I bought:

If you get a Digital Converter Box w/TV Recording, you can have your complete Redneck TIVO type experience without paying the cable companies a dime. You can even continue using your old TV.

It is the next best thing to VHS. Here is a link to the last one that I bought a couple of years ago.

Jeff Bezos can thank me later for the links.

I just bought that same antenna a month ago. I can get the weak transmitter 55 miles away that has 4 stations with old shows/movies from the 50s-80s, MeTV etc but I can’t get the stronger transmitters 75 miles away in the exact same direction which has the main networks abc/cbs/nbc/fox.

pisses me off. 150 miles my arse. I’m going to try to get it higher in the air and see if that helps but I think I just need a big yagi antenna. Same design but 4-5 times the size.

I do live close enough to towers... but that’s interesting stuff you’ve found. If I want a great picture this is the one to go with:
