I live about 50 miles away and would like to install in my attic. Will it work?

I think it will depend on what obstructions are between your home and the towers. I live only 10-16 miles from the broadcast towers in Atlanta and yet my reception with the Mohu Sky was erratic at best. Tried it in various locations in my attic but honestly get better reception from a cheap, old, table top antenna.

I would say unless you have metal studs or metal roof it should work fine for that area. Ours is right at 2100 and it is fine except in the far bedroom which is probably 25-30 ft. through sheet-rock, studs and brick from the router. It receives and sends from there but needs a lot of time which I think is due to resending of the data because of errors.

I really doubt that it would take in that range. But, I really can't help. For I'm only about 35 miles away and it's working fine.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

Yes, as long as you are no more than 50 miles from the tower. You may need an electrical amplifier for the signal, but I have five amplified antennas in my attic, alligned with the Terk map online to match the compass setting for each station, and my HDTV off air is better than my FIOS, which I have also to get faster internet than I could with a DSL connection.

Yes, this will work with any outdoor/attic antenna. With Amazon's liberal return policy you have nothing to lose by trying it. Mine has worked for 5 years now without a single/signal problem.

Well, what is your definition of works? For me, this unit receives good signals fromup to 20 miles away. It picks up stations as far away as 30 miles (we're rural) but keep in mind that it is mounted high in my 2 story attic. When the weather is bad the 30 mile signals are intermittent.

I live about 40 miles from the nearest tower. It didn't work for me being that far away but 13 miles away should work.

It could be, don't know that it would work as good. I hooked it up inside just to try it and it didn't work great. Not sure what it would work like in the attic, maybe it would of been ok. I reLly needed to get the height because of trains and semis.

It depends on many factors. Do you have a lot of trees surrounding your house? Are you on a hill or in a valley? It won't work as well in high winds or ice storms. We live about 35 miles from Providence, RI and 50 miles from Boston, MA and can receive signals from both directions. We mounted ours on the side of the house and drilled a hole through the wall close to the baseboard and capped it off as opposed to mounting it on the roof. Where you mount it will also have an impact on the range. There is no definitive answer, it depends on a lot of different things.

Don't know. I have an attic installation. Winegard's website says the HD7694P antenna is only good for 45 miles, not the 50 miles one finds its Amazon product page. If you bought a stronger antenna like one of the DB8 models, maybe you could get away with an attic installation. There are 70 to 100 mile antennas that don't cost much more, and in the attic they can bring in stations from 45 miles away--maybe farther.http://www.winegard.com/offair/vhfuhf-antennas.phpHD7694P Platinum HD Series Antenna Maximum Mileage: 45 Miles Bands: H-VHF UHFDTV.Gov Signal Levels: Strong Moderate Medium to long range yagi DTV antennahttp://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=db8 Don't know.

It would probably work best in the attic yes. I returned mine because it did not work very well. My rabbit ear antenna was better.

it may work intermittently. I dont think it would be reliable. The walls will definitely cause problems at that distance.

That is a little far, this thing might not make it, you may need a higher powered AP with a separate high gain directional antenna. I've had it work well up to 200ft.

I live in a two story metal framed house, before I installed me EnGenius we didn't have wifi hardly anywhere. Now, we have wifi everywhere, all over inside, upstairs, downstairs, outside and even about 80 feet out to the mailbox with very large oak trees in the way. I don't know if this answers your question and every application is different but i would think probably so, especially if you mount it on the ceiling close to the back yard wall.

Yes. Attic possibly but you won't get nearly the signal. Of you're within 20 mules then yes indoors but it's a better signal outside

I live in the country and want to use it out doors or in my barn....will it work?
