A lot of places in the US are too far for using antennas. In my area all you can pick up is a religious channel and a channel named infomercial tv.
80% of the US population lives in urban areas. An amplified antenna can pick up channels for many of those further out. Won't work for everyone of course.
Well... You could, you just have to get it as high as you can manage. Lookup a radio horizon calculator as most broadcast antennas are 400+ feet above ground.
