An attic antenna with a tile roof is always a disaster. Even asphalt roofs degrade the signal enough to create problems.
Based on his TVFool report, it looks like he is about 5 miles ESE of Falcon Field. He entered AL for his TVFool report instead of AZ, but Google maps figured it out from the zip code, I think.

Perhaps your wife would like to view the tv using an attic antenna and you can watch the tv using an outdoor antenna.
I remember a case where the wife objected to an outside antenna. The husband set up two temporary antennas, one indoors and one on the roof.

He had the wife and two children sit down and vote for which antenna gave the best reception. The children voted for the outdoor antenna for what they wanted to watch; the outdoor antenna won.

Some wives find the design of the Antennas Direct C2V acceptable.
