Can I mount this antenna in an attic?

I did....my home's roof system is trusses so there was plenty of space. Picked up a lot more stations.

I would say yes, We have a high ceiling with no attic and My antenna is sitting on the floor of our loft leaning against a large window.

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.

It depends on how close you are to the tv station antennas. If you are in an urban setting you might have good luck , maybe an attic antenna would work . To test , try rabbit ears in a window , it you get signals then , you will be pleased with this antenna placed outside.

yes that should work ok, however I would recomend if posible that you mount it outside on the roof about 25 to 30 feet off the ground. I also highly recommend this pre amp http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=lna-200+boost+xt+outdoor+digital+tv+antenna+preamplifier&sprefix;=lna-200%2Caps%2C239this will be a great addition to your new antenna. Lastly make sure your coax cable is RG6 not RG59, if you have 59 it will work just not as good as RG6. You will have more loss of signal with 59.

I put this antenna in an unfinished attic room, ran the cable to the basement and hooked it into the splitter the cable company was using. I run 7 TVs off of it!

Sure, I do not see why not. It is a magnet mount, so I would put it on a pizza pan, metal cabinet, or some magnetic surface to allow the antenna to have some surface as a "ground plane", to allow the antenna to have the best possible inside reception.

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.

You can ground it easily with a u-clamp, some 16 gage aluminum wire and a grounding rod (available at Radio Shack) but I just mounted mine to a rafter in the attic. It gets just as good reception and it's out of the wind and rain so it will last much longer.

I think you could mount it on a wall. Our electrician put them up right to run the cables through the attic.

I agree. Look at the Firestiks or Wilson antennas if you want to thread mount it. I posted a pic of the antenna disconnected from the magnetic base if you decide to go this route.

This will work great with an RV antenna. I don't think it will work with an antenna not designed for rv use. If you buy a batwing rv antenna and put it in the attic it would probably work well. Mike S

Yes, you can. I have mine in the attic with 3 feet of attic insulation. The signal is awesome even if i am on the street about 50 feet away from my driveway. This AP comes with PoE, utilized that and less wiring for you.

I mounted it inside my attic. However, I had no signal at all. Antenna manufacturer said they had no coverage on that side of Baltimore city.

ahhh ... yes, there is a little screw on antenna ... probably what the other person said, BCN. I went with the antenna in my attic

No it is and out side antenna, it could be used in a attic or out of site because of its size.

If your current antenna is a bat wing type then yes. You can also mount it on a pole with the included bracket.

I don't have mine mounted. It just sits in the attic. Here are some of the companies recommendations. http://www.antennacraft.net/Antennas/AntennaMounts.html
