If that doesn't work, can anyone suggest how to solve this problem?


An omnidirectional antenna.

I just looked up "directional antenna" in a 'shopping" search engine and they seem to cost between around just $4.00 all-the-way-up-to over $6,000 ! I wonder what differences they offer?

The first thing you need to ascertain is if you have a mix of UHF and
VHF channels you want to receive. If you don't have any VHF channels,
you can buy a UHF only antenna. Then you need to find out the signal
strength of the stations in your area. Then buy an antenna-amplifier
that will provide adequate gain to reliably receive these stations.
