Will a booster cure most of these issues?
Rather doubtful. Amplifiers AKA Boosters are only able to repeat what they receive. If the signal from the antenna is strong but of low quality, an amplifier may actually make your problems worse by distorting the signal even more. Amplifiers can only 'push' signal through cable and splitter loss. Amplifiers can not and do not 'pull' signal from the cable, antenna or air.

The signals are predicted to be strong & easy to receive. If you aren't getting good results in the attic, ADTech's colorful assessment of the attic as an antenna site fits your case.

Test reception outside, clear of obstructions such as trees and buildings (including your house). http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=13646
