Will this antenna work in an attic?

I did see a picture of someone had mounted it in an attic,they didn't mention how far they were from the transmitters.If you live in an urban area it might work fine, in fact that'sthe only way I would recommend it. I warn you this thing is super cheap and I can't imagine it lasting very long out in the elements but it might be fine in an attic.

That's where mine is. If your roof is wood and asphalt shingle AND you can get it high enough, it should be fine. I pull every channel that is available in my area (50 miles) which equals 36 channels. It does a very good job and my antenna is just 13'8" from ground level. Love the High Def reception

We did not find the antenna to be satisfactory. It was mounted on the roof of the house and didn't seem to do much of anything. Since we weren't sure if it was working properly, my husband called to seek help. Never got a response.

First of all, outstanding choice for a base station. Unless you have a giant attic, about 25 feet or so including ground plane kit, this antenia wont work. We have it installed about 10 feet above the roof line and it performs outstanding. I feel your pain..... Consider another type of attic specific antenna knowing your attic dimensions. On the up side....You will have a stealth installation. Good Luck....Mike Long Beach Ca.

I think if you plugged it in to the box that says antenna, it will work. But I don't have a definite answer,sorry.

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.

I am Ham operator, I took this antenna shortened it to work on 10 meters. I have it in my attic and it works awesome, I have been able to work many country's. I'm sure your idea will work fine.

It depends on what you mean by indoor. I installed mine in our attic and it worked perfectly fine. A piece of advice on installation...if you don't have the proper equipment, you can use a small television to tune in the stations. if you are not good with general direction where you cannot see the sun, I would recommend the use of a compass.

It needs to be pointed in the direction of your local stations antennas. Goggle search your local stations to find proper direction. Also installing in attic does take away some of the distance it can pickup. Longer wire runs need a booster to retain good picture. Hope this helps

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.

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

Yes, it will. You will probably have to do some fine tuning, yet extend the telescopic antenna before you do so. The relative success of which may depend upon how good your current signal is or if you are located in a larger city or rural location.

I have mine in the attic and it is working very well. it's working much better than the old much larger antenna that I had up there.

Absolutely. I have mine permanently mounted in the attic with my antenna. It's been running strong for months.

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)

Probably. You'll need good wire and a strong power supply. 100 foot "cheap-o" cables work in attics and so forth. A bit better wire with a separate power supply should be fine. Search Amazon for cctv cable and connectors if you like. You could always test with a cheap cable from Amazon to work things out...

If the antenna will fit in the attic with good reception it will pick up great. This is one of the best antennas that I have ever owned. David Hamilton

You can place the antenna anywhere you want as long as you get reception. You will have to figure that out by trying it, but many have had good luck with it indoors. It might work in an attic. Before 1996, that was my only choice, and an antenna there works well enough with DTV that I never moved it to my roof.For condos, the laws are different. The 1996 telecommunications act still allows restrictions on roof antennas where you do not own the roof. I haven't followed all the latest amendments, but if you have an area that's for your exclusive use, such as a balcony, you can put it there.

Yes it will. However if you are using a park model you might be better served to use a HD antenna that would be used at any residence as you may get better reception. This antenna is made for travel trailers as it is made much smaller and rotates when you change location. It would work on a flat mobile home roof if it is not more than 5" thick. When you install or cut a hole in the roof be sure to use self leveling sealant to seal to prevent any leaks.
