Do you have an attic or crawl space above the top floor? If you do you could put an outdoor antenna up there... maybe even with a rotor. UHF should fit up most crawl space hatches, but VHF/UHF ants may require dismantling the VHF elements to fit the hatch and reassembling in the attic.

If no attic and no weak VHF stations are in your area you might want to try a 70s UHF unamplified bowtie antenna... I've had better results with those than some expensive new amplified antennas. If you can remove the original 300 ohm twin lead from the bowtie and connect the 2 shortest possible leads between the bow and your 300 to 75 ohm balun.
