    The attic door is probably blocking the signal from coming through.

    Best option is to split the signal.

    The wire coming from the aerial on the roof, buy a two way splitter and connect it to that wire. Then connect the previous wire back into the splitter.

    Next you gotta run a new wire down to the TV that you are using the booster on, connect the new wire to the splitter also and hey presto!

    Here's an example:

    The way I did mine was outdoor aerial, masthead amplifier, and a 2 way power supply in the attic.

    The the 2 way power supply powers the mashead amp (which is fitted on the aerial mast) through the co-axial cable from the power supply up to it , and the 2 way power supply also has 2 outputs to supply the aerial signal to 2 tv`s.
