Looking for one with both 300 ohm and 75 ohm inputs, preferably with a remote gain control.
Look for the lowest noise figure and the highest gain as a start. I've used a Galaxy preamp for over 20 years with no problems. I also use a Channel Master preamp for my Digital Converter Box to get stations a far as 75 miles on UHF. It works great. Not familiar with any that have a remote gain control.
This is a antenna that I designed with encouragement from several other designs of antennas (Hovermans, Fractal, and Rabbit Ears). The reason why ...
Well, an antenna is more of a component than a circuit, but this website has a lot of info on TV stuff:

Need more info. Is it a rabbit ear set-up? The type that fits into a closet or attic?
Primarily you need to make sure that the connectors match - 300 ohm to 300 ohm (small spade ends that fit under a screw) or 75 ohm to 75 ohm (threaded barrel, female, to coaxial wire, male). Otherwise you need a basic convertor for a couple bucks or about a pound (I'm in US. I'm guessing you aren't). Don't worry about the radio part unless you are going thru a home theater receiver that has an input for this, too.
Next trick is determing the best place for the antenna. Some locations have better reception than others. Near a window, for instance, is good.
Then make sure your tv is set to antenna or air in it's menu. TVs are generally set to cable as the default setting.
