Could this antenna be mounted in the attic of a house? Has anyone done this??

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.

I believe it states they they can be mounted in an attic. I was NOT happy about the quality control of the product. I had to steal parts from the second one, just to make a complete one.... and it didn't work. Make sure you have no obstructions

I think it may depend how far you are from the signals you would want to pick up. In your attic you may have an easier time directing the antenna to get the best signals. The antenna uses a conventional F connector to attach to wiring you may already have in the house.

I don't see why not. I mounted mine in my attic. However, they have a cheaper indoor version (Mohu Leaf) that you should try before mounting this close to your tv. Even though this is not very large, it will still be an eye sore compaired to the Leaf.

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

To answer your first question, you can try it however the longer the signal has to travel the more opportunity for the signal to degrade unless you use a signal amplifier by each TV. Yes you can mount a mst on the side of your house that is high enough that the antenna extends higher than your roof and has a clear unobstructed line of site towards where the TV station broadcasting entennas are.

It may be rated at 30 miles but I am receiving channels that are 50 miles away in a 100 mile radius. I am still amazed at how well it works because my home has a tall rocky ridge about 100 yards from my home blocking sunlight to the West and the North of my house. So I thought I was doomed as far as getting a TV signal. I installed my antenna on a short pole just inches above the peak of one of my homes gables. I then sprayed the underside of the antenna with camouflage brown paint that I found at Home Depot. This made the small antenna even more unobtrusive, in my opinion. For your information, I think you will find out that no HOA can tell you that you cannot mount an antenna on your home. There is a Federal ruling about everyone's right to communicate... or something like that. With all that said, I have no idea how well the antenna will work in your attic. I didn't even attempt it because I knew I was really stretching the limits of this device. But I sure have been impressed and it is so inexpensive anyway. Good luck to you!

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

Mine is mounted on a wall and works very well in that position. Very pleased with the performance of this antenna.

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.

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, I wouldn't recommend it. I thought I had a strong, direct signal outdoors and am disappointed with my reception. I haven't reached a final decision yet, but have purchased a powered signal amplifier. I live in an apartment and bought this antenna because it could be mounted discretely outdoors. It's certainly good looking.

Not in the attic but the roof of the building. The area I live in though only picks up about 60 channels which are all good insofar as HDTV is concerned but disappointing because the antenna per se is capable of picking up a 100 to 150 channels in HD instead.

Yes, mine is in the attic. Beware, the antenna is very large. You will also need to point the antenna in a particular direction (towards the towers) for best reception. I would recommend measuring beforehand to prevent any surprises!

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.

Yes you can. Just remove the coax that goes to your TV's from the cable feed outside your house, mount the antenna in your desired location and run a coax cable from the antenna and connect (use a male/male connector) it to the cable that feeds your TV's. It's as easy as that and if your like me you will get a better picture than you got from your cable provider

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.
