I have a metal roof on my Camp. I am about 35 mile from the broadcast station. Will the antenna work in the attic? null

Question

Not likely. Metal tends to block RF. You would need to position it near a vent facing the towers at a minimum
It comes with a decent bracket to mount outside.

It would work pretty good

Matt · Answer

I have mine mounted in the attic and it seems to work fine, but I don't have a metal roof.

My guess is no. I am using mine in a metal building. I tested it on a long cable. Outside, I could get stations 50 miles away. Indoors I could do just as well be placing the antenna near a window facing the stations, but if I got away from the window I lost all but the closest stations.

Building materials, such as a metal roof, will greatly affect the incoming signals. Our recommendation is to install the antenna on the roof. If you installation help, please give us a call at 877-825-5572 and a member of our support team will guide you through the process.
