Attic antenna selection help in Asheville, NC

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...90386b0d81d8b8


So I know Asheville area is a challenge due to the mountains. That said our neighborhood (not my house) has a direct line of site to MT Pisgah were the tower for WLOS and a few others is.

Attic mount is a must due to my wife I bought a Mohu - Leaf 50 at best buy just to see what I could get from an indoor. I put it in an upstairs window as close to the spot in the attic as I could. I got most everything but CBS froze up a good bit. This was right in the window, if I moved it back a few feet NBC had issues as well.

So I feel confident a good antenna should work. However I'm concerned that there will not be enough space in the spot in the attic. There is a dormer on the front of the house (where I used the indoor) with vaulted ceilings on the inside. The house is a story and a half with a steep pitch roof. Lots of the attic would be impossible due to the framing, duct work etc. The biggest spot would be behind the dormer so it would have to go through 10+ feet of "open" space before it reached outside. So there is the corner beside the dormer. Again not sure I can fit much there but it's really the only option.

I've linked to some pics that may make more sense. In the pic of the house the spot I stuck the indoor is circled in red and roughly where the attic one needs to go is in green. The pic is a strange angle so the tree looks way taller than it is. For now it's not in the way.

If we can come up with something that will fit/work I'll have questions about the coax etc! Thanks guys!
