    Impossible to tell. What are your tiles made of? Is the direction of Longford through other peoples roofs? Do you have a water tank up there?
    So many variables. Best ask a local installer.

    Cairn Hill would be the transmitter, UHF channels 44 & 47, Group K aerial

    As posted previously, not possible to say how well it'll work in the attic.

    Very very good chance that a decent aerial will work the finest.

    I've picked signal from that transmitter from much farther away than Athlone, using €15 aerial.

    As other poster says though, there are variables so can't be 100% sure

    Virtually every rooftop aerial in Athlone is a pretty basic contract, the signal from Cairn Hill is very strong.

    Older thick Roof Tiles (house build circa 1990) , I would be pointing the aerial northwards towards Longford so the aerial would be pointing directly through the roof ( no walls)

    Yeah might ask local installer. (Dont really want an external aerial)
