There are two options that I have in mind:
1. A 10 ft mast mounted on the deck with the C2V on top. Another version of the same idea would be two 10 ft masts together, with the base at ground level, fastened to the deck at the midpoint, and extending 20 ft up from the basement ground level with the C2V on top. You could make a temporary test setup of this location to see what kind of readings you would get on your Roamio. Maybe you could even bring the Roamio up to the 1st floor TV so you wouldn't have run up and down stairs.
2. The C2V on a short mast that is supported by two wall brackets fastened to the rear of your house between the two windows on the second floor. The two wall brackets would need to be long enough to allow the C2V to be rotated NE. This idea could also be tested with a temporary setup by sticking the C2V out the west window at the rear of the second floor. Maybe you could also move the Roamio up to the TV there.
You handyman should be able to do either of these.

Would those options not run into similar issues maybe with different objects or even the tree that ADTech spoke of. Just wondering your thoughts...
