I've read several post about the attic cutting down on reception ~30 % and how outside placement is best. Assuming outside placement is not practical, is it better to place a smaller indoor antenna (e.g., Silver Sensor or Amplified Terk) in the room, maybe behind the TV set, or put a larger outdoor antenna in the attic? Would the attic installation of a larger antenna be better even though reception is cut by the roof? I have not seen this discussed in other posts. P.S. I will be moving to the new location where I will be using the antenna and I will be between 17 - 21 miles from the stations according to the AntennaWeb.org site. I am about the same distance from the same stations in my current house and get decent reception (6 of 10 bars on Tv's strength meter) from a small un-amplified Terk behind the TV.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
