Smile Read the rules

The same FCC rule that permits TV reception dishes on the outside of your house also permits other outside TV antennas. You are not limited to a stealth antenna in the attic if the antenna is designed to receive over-the-air TV signals.

This from the FCC website: The rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000) has been in effect since October 1996, and it prohibits restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance or use of antennas used to receive video programming. The rule applies to video antennas including direct-to-home satellite dishes that are less than one meter (39.37") in diameter (or of any size in Alaska), TV antennas, and wireless cable antennas. The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.

You might want to discuss this with whoever enforces your CC&Rs. They can restrict ham radio antennas, but not outside over-the-air TV antennas.
