If you do a wired solution, don't run too much cable. Just an additional 20'
of "low loss" cable is enough to eliminate the benefit of having an outside
antenna.

When I suffered w/ AT&T in the late 90's, I had an outside antenna mounted
on window as opposed to a rooftop antenna. It boosted the signal from
zero/one bars to two to three. Inserting 20' of wire dropped it back down to
one bar.
