I cut the cord about 2&1/2 years ago and i'll never go back unless they start offering channels à la carte. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime, got rid of Hulu because of excessive ads.
I tried 3 different store bought antennas but my homemade one works the best. This site was a big help for aiming help:
AntennaWeb - Address
Mine isn't pretty but it does the job.
I'm up to 65 channels now. That's up from around 30 with the crappy indoor antenna.
