Greetings,
Mia Culpa, I had to completely rewrite this because an attic
antenna is not going to work for you. Here is why.
You already have weak signals at your location. An attic
installation will likely reduce those weak signals but the
main reason is: with 5-10 feet of snow on your roof, the
signals will be too weak to receive. An outside mounting
is a must. I would avoid any roof mount. Instead, I would
look carefully at your situation. Can you mount off of a
deck??? Can you use a "J" mount on the side of your home?
You want to place the antenna where there is nothing
below it for at least 10 feet and where it is not blocked by
trees. You need a clear path to the Northeast. That is
where your major signals come from. If you can find
such a spot, I would suggest the Winegard 7694P antenna.
It is extremely rugged and well suited for your situation
and weather. Keep it simple, especially at first. Run
no more than 50 feet of RG6 cable to one television.
Once you've established a good signal over a few day
period, you can move forward, if you wish. Do not
forget to properly ground your system. Not only does
it protect from lightning, it can actually enhance your
reception.
