I've been working with this for quite some time. I live in a deep fringe area with lots of trees and got only an Iowa Public Television channel on digital.
Turns out there are 3 changes that will help a lot with a rooftop antenna.
1. Replace the cable coming down, take down the RG-59 and replace it with RG-6. 2. Purchase an antenna signal amplifier. The power supply goes behind the tv, the amplifier goes on the mast right below the antenna and connects directly to it with 300 Ohm twin lead. 3. Get your antenna higher. Round in my area, there are 25 digital channels available that I can find right now. But your antenna needs to be higher than anything else around, preferably right at 40 feet, to pick up the signals being sent from almost 90 miles away. Of course, using your rotor and fine-tuning where your antenna points can help a lot too.
How many stations are available in your area? Find out at AntennaWeb. You punch in your zip code and uncheck the boxes and don't enter all the other personal info, it doesn't mind. The next page lets you pick your actual location better than it otherwise finds it. That will suggest (some of) the stations you can get.
