If you have some decent weather, and access to power for a temporary test, try taking the TV and antenna outside. There should be a fair amount of signal available outdoors. If that test fails totally, we need to consider the possibility that your tuner is questionable...

Presuming a decent tuner, if you can't see any usable signal indoors, a full size outdoor antenna (mounted indoors) isn't likely to get the job done either. Some indoor settings simply can't be made to work... Once there is too much signal degradation due to building construction, trees, etc., there's no signal to receive.

Though it's only an empathetic gesture, If I was in the condo development business, I'd have no problem including a roof mounted antenna system available for any unit owner who wanted to escape the cable/satellite racket.
