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?

If you live within about 30 km from a station, you should be able to get
some kind of a picture with nothing more than a 1 meter piece of wire
connected to the antenna terminal. Make sure the TV is set for antenna, not
cable. Don't k now the European frequency plan, but here in the US, TV
channels 14 and above are offset by 1/3 of a channel from cable channels in
the same frequency range.
