Many customers have asked us about the best place to mount their antenna. Some customers may want to install the antenna in their attic to avoid exposure to bad weather outdoors.

By far, the most critical factor for TV antenna placement is height. For outdoor TV antennas, the best locations are on your roof or garage.

And yes, you can definitely install the antenna in the attic, if your attic is accessible, and you don’t have a radiant heat barrier or metal roof. Then you can also try installing an outdoor TV antenna within your attic. However, your roofing material may weaken the signal strength. Attic installations are sometimes a viable option, however, can lead to many signal issues. The majority of the time and outdoor installation is recommended. Check if the signal level is good enough for most of the channels before you install it in your attic.

You may expect the signal to be approximately 8-12% weaker than if installed outside.
