My experience is that an 80% signal is not good enough because the signal 
strength fluctuates too much. If your best is 80 you will from time to 
time drop to 40 and that isn't enough.

That should make a big difference. I bet that if you are getting 80 
inside you will get 95 outside.

Are you trying to feed multiple sets/boxes with your antenna? I would not 
do that until a good strong signal is established. Worse case you will 
only be able to feed 1 set from the antenna.
