Got a small tv in Luxembourg, no channels found (trying both SECAM and
PAL). I suppose I need an external antenna. Something cheap will likely
do the job as signals should be good in this area, but are there any
pitfalls to avoid in order to avoid a 100% useless antenna?

Just about anything that conducts electricity will be an improvement
over nothing.

With enough fiddling the old traditional rabbit ears make a pretty good
antenna. Back when antenna lead-ins were a pair of screws you could do
quite well with a couple of coat hangers.

Probably any shop that carries TVs will have something.
