So, is the antenna still in the loft?

If it is connect it up.

'Powerhouse antenna' ? don't buy a powered (amplified) indoor antenna. They hardly ever work well. ? Search here.

Without a good antenna no tuner made can do a good job. Especially in a difficult area.

Find out which stations you really want and then find out where their transmitter/s is/are from FM Fool site. Then you'll have be able to 'inform' your choices with that information about an antenna / antennae.

I don't live in America, but I do recall 'the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, are the nearest thing to heaven that I know' from a girly song?

I've - been to the USA - at working group meetings of HL7 (part of ANSI) twice; SF CA, and Baltimore MD.

I own FM receivers because most Australians have access to a national public classical broadcaster. And I drive them hard - with a directional antenna - and thus a low multipath signal - because Canberra is set within the Great Dividing Range.

Give it a go.
