HDTV reception

[ken1564]

I live in Bailey Colo. and live at an elevation of about 8000', Denver is about 35-45 miles NE of me with several mtns in between. address is 412 juniper Ln 80421 and my research shows that the signal strength would be weak, is there anything i could do in getting a hdtv signal here, looking to ditch Direct TV and get a hdtv antenna,amp,etc... Thanks in advance
