So you would need to split the signal coming in from the attic and have it
go into multiple rooms in your house. When you do this you are going to lose
some dBs before the signal gets to a TV unless you amplify the signal enough
before it splits to account for the splitting and cable losses. If you have
not split the signal and are still not getting anything, then you have
something wrong.

Hi Joe,
I have it connected up in my attic.
A coax was run to the finished attic long ago.
But I also have to explore the possibility that this connection is no
longer part of the cable box junction box.

Glenn,
With an outdoor antenna, how do you bring in the coaxial cable into the
house? Do you drill through the outside wall?

Hi All,
I wonder if anyone here has tried putting in a single TV antenna for all the
TVs in the home using the existing cable TV cable that is no longer getting
a cable TV service.
I put an antenna that was on one of my TVs and connected it to an old Radio
Shack analog TV signal booster, but it's a big house, so maybe the booster
isn't enough, or maybe it does not work any more, or maybe a digital signal
booster is required.
So far, nothing has come in on one of the TVs I connected to the cable coax.
Thanks.
Glenn
