That is the perfect antenna option and is similar to what alot of people have.
I think that is a good compromise and not a problem for most people and has a built in amplifier.
95% of the time you will have a good signal, just depends on if you want 100% reliability, which no matter who you have, can not guaranty that.
FYI that is a Omni directional and if you are in the right elevation you can get Ocala and possible Gainsville on a good day, but will compromise some signal loss from Orlando. A true directional antenna pointing toward Orlando is also a good option, alot of variables have to be taken into account depending on where you live.
It seems Village av has the most experience in that matter
