Without the amplifier that came with the Terk I got 5 channels whereas I was getting 13 with the Terk. I then plugged in the amplifier that came with the Terk to the DB4 and I lost channels! With it plugged up I got only 2 channels! I assumed that an amplifier would be pretty straightforward and should have worked with the DB4.

So I guess I'm now back to square one - mounting one of the antennas on the roof. I'm going to start with the Terk because I am getting more channels with it in the attic than I am with the DB4. Plus I think I might can still return the DB4 but I've had the Terk way too long to return it. I'll post again once I get it up there and let everyone know the results.
