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

You can install this outside on your roof, or inside in your attic space. It hooks up to your tv with a regular coax cable. It's a very strong antenna. If you live out in the boonies, you might need a signal amplifier too.

Yes, it includes a sturdy mount (about 15-18 inches long) and mounting hardware. I mounted mine inside the attic to one of the rafters, and the reception is fantastic!

I have mine mounted outside now for better reception. I used a little silicone to mount it outside a window.

I have mine "hooked" onto the top of a large chair sitting next to my window. As soon as the weather gets warmer, I plan to move it outsidewhere the reception can only get better!

I have and it works great. Easy to mount. Make sure you use some Loctite blue to keep the screws from backing out.

putting it in the attic may work better then on the roof. It worked the best for me in the basement of my house but a small adjustment would drop certain stations. On the roof it was just a nightmare. I think the built in amp was too much gain. most the towers were right around 30 miles and I just had a heck of time with this thing. I would turn the antenna pick up one station and drop another. I ended up just using a HBU-35 with no pre-amp under my deck and get all stations with a good signal. All I can say is give it a try.

Yes I pick up all VHF signals, about the wind I installed mine in the attic.

1. I don't know the exact specs of the unit, but I have run it as long as one hour with no problems. I have mine on a fan timer in the bathroom. 2. I live in south Florida and it has no problem in the attic. In fact, that's how it's meant to be installed. I hung mine off the trusses and you have to listen for it to actually hear it.

This is a directional antenna. you need to point it in the direction where you want to get the signal. This is regardless if in the attic or on top of the roof.

Concur with previous comments. Best to mount it outdoor, chimney mount, using pipe, some strapping, and the brackets that come with the antenna.

I would have to look at mine.. but I dont even have mine mounted.. I have it under my console and get good reception that way.

I never installed mine but on the roof is the best and I have had success with all sorts of antennas mounted in attics. Assume all necessary pieces are there for either 300ohm or 75ohm connections providing your receiver is so equipped.

I tried it in the attic, didn't work so hot. I use my Imax 2000 vertical for 10-12-15, works pretty well, and it's only about 24ft from ground Bottom of antenna)

Trial and error would be your best bet. If you have a previous cable provider you can connect the antenna in to the input and send the signal throughout your home of course that would mean mounting it outside. I did this and it worked great.

Outside antenna is about a foot long maybe. I put mine in attic on a bracing board in front of gable vent. The inside antenna is a box maybe 8x8inches. It is upstairs and covered there but I added two more to cover each end of the house and get more bars on the phone. House is about 2600 sq feet

For sure. I live 40-60 miles from various towers in Detroit, Toledo and Lansing, and am in the woods. Mine is hanging indoors in my attic and I still get reception. I purchased based on feedback of reception strength at a distance.
