greetings

I've just bougght and installed a tv card.
It absolutely will not work with a standard indoor tv antenna.
So i plugged it into the tv antenna (a standard roof space mounted antenna) and got poor picture quality and no sound.

My question is this...

would an indoor antenna with signal booster do the job?

my thinking (in relative ignorance on the subject) is that if the house tv antenna won't do it
then an indoor antenna with signal booster may not either.


any help would be gratefully received

(i'm in Birmingham - on top of a hill !!!!)
