Aerials are terrific things. I suppose you are talking about TV antennas and network TV. Radio Shack used to sell TV antennas, but I suspect you could find them on the internet.
If you are talking about some other service, it might require a dish antenna, which is a really strong aerial.
If this service is something other and you can learn the frequency, then you can build your own aerial. The beauty of commercial TV antennas is that they cover a wide range of different frequencies. But for a single frequency, you can divide the frequency in Megahertz MHz into 468 and that will give you the length of the antenna in feet. Cut that length of wire into two pieces so that it can be connected in the middle and connect it to a piece of coax cable. One side to the shield and the other to the center conductor. That still leaves open the issue of how to connect it to your receiver, but if it is a TV, then that is called an F connector.

External aerials are the best to pick up freeview. Internal aerials work too, but not as effective.

Your aerial will need to be changed to received Digital frequencies.........everyone needs to change before 2008 I think.....
