For a great antenna you really need to mount a big one outside.
I prefer the DB4 if you are close to the towers or the DB8 for greater distances.

Can't stand the idea of paying for a subscription to the idiot box. Paying $96 a year to get the functionality of a $100 recorder. In ten years that is $960+ compared to... $100.
Why is everybody so willing to convert everything in their life to a subscription? In the end you have nothing and they have your money...

Made the equivalent of a DB4 bowtie antenna out a 2x4, a frame of aluminum angle-iron, 1/4" wire screen, a 300Ω to 75Ω converter, and some aluminum fencing wire for the bowties.
I put it up in the attic I've got over 50 channels of questionable content!
