FM antenna made simple

I have a Rotel RX-975 receiver that cuts in and out when listening to local FM stations in Hartford. I am using the supplied "T" wire antenna simply taped to the wall behind the receiver. How can I improve my reception without getting too complex ? i.e without getting up on the roof or climbing the chimney to install a rotating antenna.

I just put a splitter on my line from the over the air tv antenna.From where I live the tv & fm stations are all 40 or so air miles east of me.I use the button that cuts off any noise between stations I get 30 or so clear as a bell stations. Am I doing something wrong I don't know about? The antenna is one of those Radio Shack 19.95 jobs.

Thanks for the conformation, Sw. You know us neurotics. I actually put the antenna up because I was tired of the 6bucks going to Direct Tv./for the local channels ea. mo. I did buy their (RS) amplified 29 or 39 job= not nearly as good as the 19/outside one. I bought my present fm tuner from Nanderson/ I figure him to be an fm god.I was embarrassed to ask him about a tv antenna/for FM.
