The roof sheathing and shingles do attenuate the signal somewhat but a sufficiently large attic mounted antenna can pull in over 50 stations from Orlando, your mileage may vary. Keep in mind that what is transmitted today is effectively a digital signal. This means you either get the channel or you don't and if you get the channel the picture is perfect. It is not like the good old days when analog signal quality could vary. You may wish to talk with Tom at VillagesAV.com.
