newbie help please

Hello, I am new to the world of OTA and am wanting to get some free legal channels to watch on my television.

Here is a link to my TVFool, http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46ae2cec8a70ff

I don't know if my TVFool is good or not for getting channels, but my question is what TV antenna should I buy to get at least 5-10 channels? I would like to buy something cheap (willing to pay over $20) that works and can be returned to the store if it doesn't work.

There is a Future shop nearby where I live, so I might be able to buy a recommended antenna from there. Thank you.
