I looked again at my homeowner's association CCR's regarding antennas, and it says this: "No antenna or other device for the transmission or reception of television or radio signals shall be erected, used or maintained so as to be visible from Neighboring Property,
unless approved by the Architectural Committee." I know I have seen people in the neighborhood that have satellite dishes though, so it seems the Architectural Committee
may approve it.
In fact, looking at the outside of my house, on the southeast corner behind my fence, there is
ALREADY a coax cable coming out of the wall which USED TO be for a satellite mounted to the backside of the garage roof (pointed south). So I suppose an outdoor antenna could be an option, but I'd still prefer an attic-mount, if possible, for a cleaner look... unless the signal is no good. I'll consider that Plan B.

So would these antennas work either mounted in an attic
OR outside? I could get one and try it first in the attic, and if it's not sufficient, move it outdoors? Or if I go with an outdoor antenna, can I get away with a smaller, less obtrusive one?
