A good antenna shouldn't cost that much but a lot of it also depends on where you put it. I put a ChannelMaster CM2016 in my attic and it worked quite well. Cost me $44 on Amazon. My wife is a sports nut so she had to have her (US) football and Olympics.

I had tried other amplified and gimicky things from Best Buy and they never worked very well.

Let's just say that we bought one from Best Buy that was $130, and even that! didn't work. This sucker was literally top of the line. We wound up returnning it, and trying about 2 other models before we finally gave up.

    Have you tried a good antenna or just the included rabbit ears or
    a cheap wall mount version?

    I got ahold of a bowtie antenna for something like 25 bucks and
    the difference was significant.  Digital signals are also easier
    to pick up, it’s either working or not.  Digital is great it’s
    either saturated or off, much simpler to deal with than analog
    signals.
