Is there an outdoor TV antenna that provides wireless connection to a TV? We are 35 miles from the 4 nearest TV transmission towers. An amplified indoor antenna would not pickup up even one channel. The basement of our house is completely finished and the attic has 18 inches of blown insulation. Physical coax installation would be a horrible nightmare.

Even if there was a device that works for this, the wireless signal would get blocked by the house materials, you will need to power and keep the wireless transmitter protected which means you need to run power from inside house to the roof or wherever you have the antenna.

There is a reddit thread about this, https://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/comments/5gzn2z View: https://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/comments/5gzn2z/is_there_a_way_to_send_an_attic_antenna_signal/
the HomeRun Connect may work, but I don't know what other devices you need for it https://www.amazon.com/SiliconDust-HDHomeRun-Connect-2-Tuner-HDHR5-2US/dp/B076FNSM6B/ref=asc_df_B076FNSM6B/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309773039951&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17434220972723499904&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001809&hvtargid=pla-569789280848&psc=1

You wrote, "...the wireless signal would get blocked by the house materials..." Our internet modem is in the basement on north end of our 66 foot long house. Computer internet connection at south end works just fine.
Thanks for the suggestion for the HomeRun Connect" option. After reviewing the installation docs, it is obviously not going to work. Will just have to do without locals. Thanks again.
