Need a better antenna and new cable. Digital TV in the capital cities also uses ch 11 and 12 (225MHz) and your antenna probably has poor reception above 10 (211MHz). Reception at ch2 (67MHz) is no longer necessary, so some new vhf 'digital only' antennas no longer cover Band I and Band II, only Band III (Ch's 6-12). 

Mine has 18 elements on Band III giving much better performance compared to the old 'Metro' antenna that wasted elements trying to be a very broadband antenna.

The older cable has probably deteriorated over the decades and its loss has perhaps doubled by now, so replacing it is suggested too.
