You don't mention what you currently have for an antenna, or where it is located. To get anything at all I'm guessing outside or at least in your attic?
I installed a large 8 foot directional UHF antenna (yagi) in my garage attic and added a Wingard booster at the point that the coax cable comes out of the attic and into the garage, then fed the coax that runs to my TV. When I scan I consistently get 60+ channels but between duplicates and things you don't want to watch, about 30 useful channels. Did it myself and spent about $120, all from Amazon.
If you search "antenna" on the forums you'll find much more about how to make this work.
