Hi Jerry,

Please double check your TV Fool report link. If you manually transcribed it there may be an error. If the TV Fool server lost it, ooops!

Without seeing your TVFR, it's hard to say what an attic install should be expected to deliver. In weak signal areas, an attic install may leave you frustrated and disappointed.

In strong and moderate signal conditions... If you have a metal or tile roof, foil faced insulation or thermal barrier, the attic is a very poor location for reliable reception. On the other hand, a roof with wood framing and sheeting, with a single layer of fiberglass/asphalt shingles can work OK... not as good as outdoors clear of all obstructions... but 'OK'.
