Try another indoor, or go to attic?

I tried a basic, passive, indoor rabbit plus loop combo antenna -- just hoping an easy plug and play solution would work. Unfortunately the package didn't give much cable length for me to move the antenna and I didn't have an extra cable handy to daisy chain some more length. That being said, of the major networks, I could really only receive Fox and PBS well, and even then they would drop out every 9s or so. The room faces mostly west, a little north (probably part of the issue if most signals are from SE).

So, my question is, should I try out a different indoor antenna, or should I just skip it and go to the attic? Roof antenna is off limits because my wife doesn't like the aesthetics, but looking at the report a roof antenna seems overkill anyway.

Attics and the inside of buildings Are Not a reception environment and Never Will Be a reception friendly environment.

Multi-path reflections signals bouncing all around , absorbing , blocking , Broadcast Tv reception.

Install a ANT751 antenna in the attic aimed at about 112 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.
____________

A antenna system amplifier is not required.

____________

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a simple common 2 way splitter.

For 3 Tv's connected use a simple common 3 way splitter.

____________

If reception issues happen that are not resolvable with antenna aim and location in the attic.

Move the ANT751 antenna to above the Peak Of The Roof in such a manner that reception is not impeded or blocked by the roof and building in All directions.

Above the roof , aim the ANT751 at about 112 degree magnetic compass direction.
