The first item to verify is, older analog TV's can't understand the digital signal format used in over-the-air TV broadcasting. They need a converter to be able to display the digital signal.
However, all TVs sold in the US since mid 2007, if equipped with a tuner, must have the ability to tune the OTA digital format. If your TV falls into that group, check to make sure it is configured to scan for 'antenna' or 'air' channels. Most tuners default to 'cable' mode which uses a different signal format.
As far as antennas are concerned, consider the Terk HDTVi (not the amplified HDTVa). You get a little bit of directional qualities in the UHF band which may help overcome signal reflections (common in an indoor location).
