Just a follow-up. Neither the FM filter nor the attenuator helped me pull in any more channels. Oh well, it was worth playing around with.
Sorry that they didn't help; it was worth a try. You need the attenuator AND the FM filter at the same time.

What attenuator did you use? How much attenuation did you try?

If you keep adding attenuation up to the point that the weak signal is gone, then the dynamic range (the difference between the strongest and weakest signal) is too great for this technique.

Was the coax grounded? If yes, how? If not, the test isn't valid.
