Does your satellite box also have a terrestrial antenna input? I have an old RCA DirecTV box someone gave me after they cut the cord, and I'm using it to receive over the air HDTV. I have it driving an old CRT VGA monitor, looks great.
Anyway, a directional UHF antenna should give low ghosted reception (easier for the digital decoder to deal with, you won't see ghosts on the display, just no reception if ghosting is severe enough). Avoid amplifiers, they will get hammered by strong signals and intermod the rest of the band, blocking out weak signals.
