Indoor antennas, including attic mounted can be quite successful or may be plagued by problems caused by the materials used in construction. Metal in any significant quantity will cause reflections, other materials may absorb the signals.

All of the major networks are available and at levels that would very likely allow for the antenna to be in the attic.

One antenna aimed slightly west of due south can be shared with three or four receivers.

An Antennacraft HBU-33 can be mounted in the attic, and if you find that you can not receive reliably due to signal reflection or absorption caused by the materials used to build the roof, the antenna can be folded back down and moved outside where there should be more than enough signal strength.

Once aimed, the antenna should not need to be adjusted.
