[QUOTE=&quot;MrPogi, post: 103925, member: 5542&quot;]If it's not an attached structure like a townhome, you can put an antenna on the roof. Don't be intimidated by a HOA. If you have read the <a href="http://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-reception-devices-rule">OTARD rules</a> and believe you are allowed an antenna, show them the rules. Most HOAs back down when shown the rules and those that don't back down rarely win.The only LAVA antennas I've seen on a roof are falling apart, they're junk. They advertise a 150 mile range, but the curvature of the Earth limits most reception to about 80 miles. So, yea, they're lying, they are designed for different frequencies, and the amps are noisy.You shouldn't need an amp or rotor. You need a 4 bay bowtie antenna pointed to about 20 degrees ON THE ROOF to get the basics: ABC, NBC, Fox, and PBS are all UHF. CBS 4 is low UHF and in a different direction, but you should be able to get CBS on 28. If you want anything in the VHF range, you can add a second VHF antenna later.[/QUOTE]
