You can greatly increase your chances of being happy with an antenna
by mounting it outdoors, the higher the better.
Placing it in an attic is really limiting to the signal. You might be ok
with
that if you have a really great signal to start with. I am about 15
miles from
most transmitters and found that in the attic just wouldn't work well enough
for me.
