What about the trick to connect the coax core wire to the house ground? I tried it and I seem to get some channels but I'm not sure whether there's any danger to it.

If you have the room, you can use your outdoor antenna indoors. Clamp it to a broomstick or such and prop it up. There's no difference between indoor and outdoor antennas but the size and mounting, and outdoor antennas are weatherproof. Probably worth it to pay the delivery premium to Amazon, if you want it right away, rather than buy an additional antenna.
