Run speaker wire from attic to TV and hook it up to TV.
This works great if there is any reception in your area.

The reception will depend on the tv station number, the direction of the tv station, and how high your antenna is.
I forget which is which, but for bunny ear antennas how far apart the antennas are depends on how high or low the station is. One of the two should have the antenna ears close together and the other works better when they are far apart. For indoor antennas different rooms and locations will get better reception because of the location of your walls and windows between where the tower is and your antenna is.sometimes its good to rotate the antenna. I've never had good luck with the indoor amplifier antennas.
Sometimes it also depends where your sit. A person's body has an electrostatic discharge and that charge your body has can interfere with the signal. So change where you sit or stand. I find I get a clearer signal when I touch the antenna ears. I think it has to do with the charge on a person's body and because the person's body is grounded.

Just like an antennae is shaped, with small horizontal extensions running from the main antennae vertical spine, as you move up the spine, use longer horizontal leads and so on until to reach the top. This will increase the ability of the antennae to recieve longer and shorther vhf waves.

Well, the correct direction is also crucial to reception. It needs 2 people to adjust the antenna: one to move the elements ( the movable parts) and one to watch for optimal picture quality and yell out the window.

The higher up in the air the better reception you will get

Try getting an amplifier for the cable. They are around $30 and make sure all of your connections are correctly terminated.

yea run a speaker wire like for a sub- run it from the outlet of the attena to the top of your house,....works just as good as a stay out side antenna....if you strap it to the tip of something youll prob get an extra 3 channles...
