I doubt it's got to do with the cables/connections. It's always just been a crappy tuner, I've had the same antenna that's in the attic now in my room and it behaved the same way. Different cables and all. I got 18 channels a handful of times, but it had to be positioned just perfectly. Turns out that perfect position is in the worst possible location in my room. Figures.
I don't really have a north facing window that would be a good place to put an antenna, unfortunately.
As for the roof, I'm just guessing. I live in a townhouse, and I've seen several of my neighbors have new roofs put on. I've seen sheet metal used every time, so ours may or may not have sheet metal. We've never had a roof replacement so it's possible that it's just shingles and wood.
I'm just hoping a larger antenna will at least somewhat fix my problem.
