Wow, thanks so much for the detailed and quick reply. I was indeed able to pull in a partial signal in the attic, using a compass to point at the broadcast towers. I will be attempting a more permanent mounting solution over the weekend, but I think most likely my current antenna will work. Also, I was using 100' of RG-6 which seems to have a loss of 2.5-3 db at channel 9's frequency of ~190Mhz which might be enough to affect the reception so I will use a much shorter cable run for the permanent line to the attic. Sadly, the built in signal strength meter in Windows Media Center shows either 5 bars or 0 bars of signal, and is therefore totally useless. If I don't get success, I will definately try that Channel Master!
