Far as what direction was it pointing, I mounted it on a broom handle and turned it til I got the best signal. How to point it was simple trial and error. Here, I don't know how well it would work. For that matter with most people on cable who or what is being broadcast over the air. Your TV may only have connections for coaxial cable.

Yes, an attic antenna can work. I have and use one in Tennessee - but I'm closer to towers than 50+ miles from the TV transmission towers.
