If the only advice here is for buying and aiming antennas, that's okay. I was just hoping there might be something else simple I was missing.

I totally agree, OTA is not for everybody.
I suppose if you want to risk 50.00 to see if you can pick up more than one channel, you won't be out a lot, if it doesn't improve your results.
There's really not any one solution that fits everybody's needs.

I also agree w/ GUM, in that just by sheer coincidence, the lead in wire is capturing some signal and not the antenna itself.
