I live in a house that I've been in since the 80's. When first moved in, there was an adjustable antenna on the roof. We probably received 10 channels. With stand alone antennas on each TV during the same time, probably 8 to 9 channels. So having that thing on the roof didn't help too much.

With that said, some channels came and gone. As a kid, I found the cable that was torn down from a hurricane. Brought it in and hooked it up to see if it worked, well it did for 10 years we lived here. We moved out and rented the place. So the cable had to be legally brought back in by the renters. lol

Anyways, I've installed a powered HDTV antenna that was given to me. I probably saw 1 to 3 channels on my HD set. My question is, would a roof antenna/attic improve with several more channels? Or would my gains not be worth the cost of this type of antenna?
