I am currently looking at my options for installing satellite in my new home, which I have not moved into yet. It is new construction and I am really debating putting an antenna in the attic vs the rooftop, as the weather in our area (south of Seattle) is VERY wet and I fear for causing leakage in the roof or eave (if I pursued an eave mount). I have been recommended the Winegard HD7698P antenna with a AP8275 pre-amp and also worry about installing a power source for a pre-amp on my rooftop. I am wondering if I can get away with an attic install in my area and still get the red channels? The TV Fool Analysis is here:

Two story house with eaved roof (estimated 25feet) with no trees in the neighborhood to obstruct, although around the periphery of the neighborhood there are trees that do not seem to be obstructing.
Will have more questions to come RE: wiring the pre-amp and grounding the antenna. The house has 1 grounding rod only.
