Your report indicates 8 feet AGL. You can try an inexpensive non-amplified indoor antenna, though I expect you will have some trouble with reliable reception especially if your home is constructed of materials which reflect or absorb television signals.

However, a Winegard HD7694P mounted on your roof or chimney, aimed at about 120° compass will provide a long list of programing choices.
