If your home is a single family residence, the FCC is on your side, defending your right to mount an antenna on the roof if necessary. If this is a multi-unit dwelling, you have the right to use the area that you have rented or leased for your exclusive use. The landlord can impose reasonable requirements that prevent damage to their property.

Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule

Reception in attics can be difficult.

Consider testing UHF reception with the DTV2B outdoors, preferably above the peak of the roof. Try facing the the antenna toward 315° per your compass. Try with the reflector installed and without.

Chimney mounts and vent-pipe mounts can be used without needing to drill into the building. http://www.3starinc.com/antenna_mounts_masts.html
