Sony makes a really nice glass mount antena, it looks like a defroster strip on your window.

you want an example hey? Well I posted this topic a while ago, but I just use my car radio antenna as my TV aerial. It works sweet. I put a splitter on it, so I can have my FM tuner card and TV tuner card off the same car radio antenna.
