If you are attempting an attic installation, then a yagi-type antenna has a greater chance of success than the 4228. The 4228 has side lobe pick-up that makes it a poor choice for multipath-prone environments like an attic. You are well-advised to consider a roof-top or tower mount, but if you have no other choice but to mount in the attic, then consider an AntennasDirect XG-43 or an XG-91 with a preamplifier instead of a 4228.
