In Spanish Springs, with a window facing Orlando, I can pick-up some stations with a flat antenna. Get one with an amplifier.
You should be able to pick one up on Amazon for under $30. It's likely that you will not get ABC but I get NBC and CBS with mine.
Mount the antenna in the window as high as possible. If the window is facing a building you may not get any signal.
The attic is a possibility if it is not lined with foil as a radiant barrier. If the attic is lined with foil your only option is an outside antenna.
