Us EE's could have told you this:

So, I'll tell you again. It's simple rabbit ears, or an outside antenna. Spend the $300 on the outside antenna.

Regrettably, Channel Master has changed hands, and designs, so I cannot recommend them anymore. Antennas Direct and Winegard are the remaining choices. For STL a UHF only antenna works great.
