Well, that worked out great...

I thought I was going to have to move my antennae out of the attic, where I put it last weekend, and move it to the roof. Turns out, the tuner on the TV doesn't pick up over the air signal worth anything. I ordered a box late last week I can connect a hard drive to and I can then record my shows. I received the box today, hooked up the tuner and TV. Picture is perfect. I have to play with the record feature yet. I want to be able to record my shows as usual. Looks pretty straight forward. It does 1080p and surround sound, so it is better than VHS, and with a hard drive (which I already have) it will be cheaper than tapes. I am just happy I don't have to mess with the antennae anymore.
