Putting antenna on roof.

The sky was designed to be mounted on your roof in your attic or as close to the ceiling as possible. If you have aluminum siding or a metal roof be sure to mount the sky outside away from the siding or above the metal roof if possible. Since signals will be weakened by just about any roofing material utilizing a higher gain antenna is typically the first step in overcoming signal loss. However it is possible some blockage or scattering of signals may occur.

In order to mount an antenna on your roof without damaging it you should attach the antenna to the gable the fascia or the chimney. Whatever you do do not put holes in your roof to attach your antenna. The effective range of most antennas is lowered by 10 15 miles with an attic installation so you may consider getting a more powerful antenna than you would typically need with an outdoor antenna. You can also buy non penetrating mounts that use weights rather than screws to hold them in place.

Many people use their chimney as a mounting base for their antenna. Installing antenna outside makes a big difference. I ve used channel master cm 9025 3 heavy.
