    Sounds like it's time to get an antenna.

    I have had good luck with the new flat ones lately. 

    They're about the size of a sheet of paper and they are very easy to 
handle. Since they are so light, they can be wall mounted with nothing 
more than 2 sided tape. They're pretty cheap too. I have one for each of
my tuners so I don't have to bother with a splitter.

    If in doubt, just buy from a merchant with good return policies and
return it if it doesn't work out.
