RE: antenna needs

Couple of questions:
Can you mount an antenna outside? or in the attic?
if so - you then need to know the realative strength/direction of your target stations-
You can certainly put a dipole up in almost any location (though higher is better) and they have a small foot print-
If you can get into the attic - or outside - (on the roof?) you can mount either a Yagi - or Timbo's favorite (and arguably the best for directional gain) a rhombic - see FAQ section of AA for the whitepaper-
with a 'threaded input - 75 Ohm cable is what you want - you will need a balun transformer to connect the Yagi or the Rhombic to the extension cable.

Both the Yagi and the Rhombic are directional - so head to FM FOOL and get your directional survey - together with a compass you can orient the antenna spot on -
Happy Tuning
