I just bought a TV with a digital tuner on it, its a 19in Durabrand. I hooked up my antenna to it but it keeps saying signal too low on every channel. I live in the middle of the city, I don't have cable. Any ideas.

Yes, you need something more directional and with more signal gain. Zenith makes such an animal.... http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?main_cat=03&CAT=&PROD=ZHDTV1 Otherwise, you'll have to go with an outdoor antenna like this... http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?main_cat=03&PROD=TD-42XG

What kind of analog TV signals do you get. Digital TV is somewhat fussy about signal quality. If you get poor analog reception, you will need a better antenna. Or at least change the old one's location. (Hint: it's easier to adjust your antenna using an analog broadcast.)
If you add this info and your zip code, I might be able to be more helpful.
The "Zenith ZHDTV1 Silver Sensor" that Mr Peachy(tm) linked to works for a lot of people provided that all their local stations are UHF and their signal strength problem is multipath in nature. Knowing your location and what your analog TV picture looks like makes it easier to guess at what antenna might be best for you.

You need a better antenna and / or booster
