I am moving along with my parents automation installation. However, I have run into a small problem with their FM radios. All the equipment is located in the HVAC closet on the lowest level of the house and effectively underground (due to the slope of the lot). While they do not live in a major city, they have no trouble receiving FM stations using the basic alarm clocks and other stereos in the house, but I cannot pick up any signals down in the closet when I attach a basic antenna directly to the receivers. They would like to have FM radio as a source, so I need to install a FM antenna in the attic space and run a RG-6 wire down to the closet.
I'm looking for suggestions on what type of FM antenna to get. If anyone has done something similar, I'd love to hear about it. The roof is standard construction with architectural asphalt shingles. Their equipment that I will be using includes 1 B&K CT602 whole house audio system and 2 Integra 5.4 Home Theater receivers. So I will need to split the signal at least three ways once it is in the basement as well.
Thanks.
