You can mount your new antenna in three places:

• indoors by your TV
• in your attic
• outdoors on your roof

Those who live in the city will typically mount their antenna inside because they are fairly near to the broadcast towers, and those who reside distantly from a major urban area or in countryside will be needed to mount antenna outdoors, which method provides up to a one hundred miles or more range. Whereas installing the antenna outside on the roof is good enough for someone, others might want the antenna unsighted and choose the attic.

The two major problems you will almost certainly face by installing your antenna in your attic are:

2. Poor reception

Another problem you will face is bad reception. Some of the matters that can worsen the performance of antenna are household appliances and electronics due to the electromagnetic influence and the building materials that your home consists of. In an attic, you have to make an allowance for the wood, insulation, metal materials and aluminum that comprise your chimney and roof. This does not mean that it will not function because there are many people who have installed the antenna in the attic and are receiving great picture clarity.

  Installing it on your roof is the commonly accepted fashion that people use. This does not necessitate an experienced person to mount it because every antenna comes with a full set of directions to assist you mount it properly, presupposing you acquired the antenna from a reputable place and it is brand new. It is a fine idea to buy from a company of good reputation, whether an online store or retail seller, who presents troubleshooting help and customer assistance in case you encounter any problems.
