Hooked it up at my daughters house in the attic. I have no clue what the roof materials are. She is approximately 45 miles from Philadelphia towers. Was able to receive 47 channels. The only channel he couldn't get was ABC which is channel 6 a low VHF. You could also try the winegard lna 200 amp with it. I have the winegard on it's way this week and will update this when I hook it up

Yes, I live about 20 miles out of Seattle's tower antennas. Works perfectly hidden in my attic.

Yes this antenna will work installed in an attic. It workered better that the terk did in my attic. Located in Marietta outside of Atlanta.

To my knowledge, no. Basically if you have an HD capable TV you have everything you need. I really like this antennae and it works VERY well in my attic. I've not kept it outside.

Installed mine in the attic which was 16 feet off the ground. Pulled in more stations than antenna web indicated I would.

I have a large outdoor type antenna in my attic. It works wonderfully well.

An indoor antenna probably won't work due to aluminum siding. Might have to consider a roof top antenna.

I have mine in the attic because of zoning ( no outside roof antennas ). Regardless of the name, it is a little directional. I can get all the stations south of me (15 miles) or all the stations north of me ( 40 miles ) but not both. So mounted it on an antenna rotor, works great. Been using it since they all went digital and no cable bill.

Yes, but you need to check to see if it has a antenna. otherwise you will have to install one.

I have installed the antenna in my attic. I receive some of the channels I was expecting to receive. I don't remember how far the range was suppose to be, but I am getting the range as advertised. Some of the towers are within that range, but I can barely get the signal or get no signal at all.

The users manual shows that it can be connected to a "VHF/UHF analog or DTV antenna" using an RF coaxial cable. It also says that using an "outdoor or attic antenna will be more effective than a set top or inside antenna."

Unsure. If I remember correctly, it arrived assembled and I don't recall disassembling it. I would never put an antenna in an attic because of the gain loss, though I suppose if the broadcast towers were nearby it might still work.

Both of my sons have successfully installed their antennas in the attic. We have a newer roof with a radiant barrier, and that is a no-go. We tried to put ours in out attic, but the radiant barrier material interferes with the signal. The Orca is small enough not to be a distraction in the landscape, and we get a very good signal, through heavy woods, many miles from the origin of the signal.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I live in a two story town home. I simply mounted it in the attic at the highest point possible. My town home has a central wiring box with a splitter that connects TV outlets in all the bedrooms and the living room, so I just dropped an RG6 cable from the antenna into the central box, and connected it to the splitter. You can also mount it outside on a pole, which is supposed to provide even better reception. For me, mounting it inside, on the wall would have been tacky. I wanted it out of site, so the attic was perfect. If you do not have access to the attic, and your apartment is not prewired with coax cable, the only thing you can do is mount it on the wall behind your TV.

Yes, you can mount the Cable Cutter in the attic. Although, in general this is not the best location for any antenna so mileage may vary. The Cable Cutter can be mounted outdoors as well as indoors. You can use any standard RG6 coaxial cable and yes you can split the signal. We usually recommend a drop amp if you are going to split the signal to boost the signal strength before you split the signal.

If the antenna is outside the tin roof should have absolutely no effect on its operation. I'm fairly certain that it would work inside as well

I tried the attic and had some channels but mounting outside helped a lot.. I pull in over 30 channels from buffalo counting Canadian channels

I don't see how it could do anything but improve your signal. Works great on the antenna I have put in my attic.
