I would avoid an amplified antenna. The signal strength available to you may be enough to overload an amplifier.

Any small to mid-size 'All-Channel' antenna will serve well;

Antennacraft C290
Channel Master CM-3016
Winegard HD7010

Mounted outdoors, pointed due east you'll have plenty of signal. You may be able to get good reception in an attic, but outdoor mounting ensurers success.

TVs built and sold since mid-2007 should be equipped with over-the-air tuners. That would make a convertor unnecessary. Simply change the tuner from cable mode to 'air' or 'antenna'. Then scan for channels... check your manual for the exact instructions for your TV.
Thanks. The problem is that I'm not to much of a handyman to know how to hook it all up that way.
