TV Antenna Question Empty

TV Antenna Question;

I'm looking to reduce the expense of what I now have;
cable for the TV, because the same company provides the
High Speed Internet connection I need to look at porn fast.
No, the computer is used for work, I trade Options,
and a good fast connection is a necessity.

As things are, I pay for the 'Basic Package' and my
relatively new HDTV can find the 'Big Four channels so I
can watch Dancing With The Stars, Castle, Ichabod Crane,
Junior Chef and Football in High Definition.

Like you, I chafe at paying for programming I never watch,
no matter how scantily the senoritas dress.

So, here is what I want to do; get an antenna.
Inside is out. The aluminum siding means no pesky radio
waves invade my domicile, so I can't use any indoor antenna.
But the other problem is that I'm not allowed to use an outside
antenna, which is weird since there are satellite dishes all over
the neighborhood.

I've come up with a possible solution; an omnidirectional
HDTV antenna, which at a glance looks like a dish.

I'll appreciate suggestions on mounting, types and
performance and such if you have expertise and experience
in same.

If you're looking for an Over The Airwave (OTA) antenna check this website out. They'll tell you which channels you can pick up, signal strength, and which direction to point youy antenna. Also has a bunch of info on type of antennas, general info, etc.

I thought the court's struck down any chance of homeowner's associations etc limiting antenna choices. otherwise you might try an indoor antenna in your attic but it won't work as well.

If you are keeping your internet connection, there are many options on the net for streaming live TV. Just a thought.

In my last house, I put an arial in my attic. Worked great.

I'm toying with the idea as well of shedding my DirecTV in favor of all streaming internet. Increase my bandwidth slightly, and add many streaming services. My DTV bill is $125 monthly. Most streaming services are less than $10 a month.

Low profile outside antennas like these may be an option for you....

If your half as creative as my knifing self, there are tons of ways to be discrete about installing one of these or like options. No one should even know what it is, paint it the same color as the siding. Worse case, camo paint the unit and stick in up in a tree, bury the cable. Call it good.
