A roof mounted antenna will have the best results in almost all cases. Perhaps in this case the next best would be a wall mounted antenna on the north side of the house. Would you be able to run coax from the north side of the house back to the existing cables at the current satellite dish mount?

I can try and see if my current satellite cables will get me any or more channels than this hookup I have with the internal antenna.
If I do get my antenna onto the north side, I would have to see if I can actually run my coax all the way around the house from the north to the south side, it'd be quite a bit of cable, for sure. I certainly don't want to rewire the house, but use existing ones. I just know nothing about these splitters that might block my signals, so I have to figure that part out as well.
