If the homemade kind doesn't pull in the signal strength you need, there's a $10 RCA set of rabbit ears that will do the job on all but the most finicky of stations. It was nice to discover my same old powered antenna worked as well as the "hd" antenna you pay $50 for. I went ahead and bought the $10 one just so my DVD recorder could have its own antenna, and I could watch analog if I needed to. Next February, though, I think I'll go ahead and make my tube TV strictly a movie machine with no antenna hookup of any kind and just a dvd player hooked up to it. Then, for my PBS viewing, I may buy a small digital TV to watch what's not available on the computer. Myself, I’ve never had a TV without an antenna.
