Thanks all!

I bought one from Amazon and taped it to a window facing due east. I got 48 channels, though not CBS. Great! So I got another one for the tv in the living room, where there are no windows nearby. No channels in several different positions. I added a splitter and ran a coaxial cable from the guest room to the living room. Now I had 48 stations in the living room, too, but also a cable taped to the tile floor near the guest room. I tried the second antenna in the master bedroom, taping it to a window facing due west, the to a window facing due north. No stations from either position.
So, position really does matter. I didn’t try putting an antenna in the attic because I did to want to make holes and run wires. My house has coaxial connections in every room, but only one is hot, as I have a router and WiFi throughout the house.
