If the roof has , concrete shingles , adobe shingles , reception will be reduced or blocked.
If the roof has wood shingles and the wood singles get wet , the reception will be reduced or blocked.

If the attic has HVAC and duct work , keep the antenna way from the HVAC and duct work as much as possible.
