Is your roof made of concrete tile or metal??? If yes, your chances of
getting good attic reception are nearly ZERO. The biggest, best antenna
won't overcome the issues involved with attic reception. Attic reception
is limited to areas where signals are very strong.
Thank you for that feedback. I've accepted that it's about a 90% chance that the attic will NOT work for my application.

I also appreciate you letting me know that the CM 3018 will be sufficient as it will save my $20 over the 3020 (and $60 vs Winegard), but what is the difference? The dimensions between the 3020 and 3018 look identical, so I'm just curious. If I thought the 3020 would be better, I'd certainly choose that...but, not knowing the difference and having you recommend the 3018, I'm fine with that if there is no benefit. Thanks in advance!
