This Subject has been beaten to death.
The Federal government ruling preempts any state or local law, code, ordnance, association restriction, etc...
Outside FTA (Free to Air) antenna's are legal. With the new energy codes in Florida, having foiled backed OSB, which makes it impossible for a signal to get into the attic.
Some of the installers would not put the antenna's outside for personal reasons.
But i believe now they have no other choice,.
So the answer to your question is
Yes they are allowed no matter what someone else tells you.
However be reasonable in appearance's to be a good neighbor.
Also remember you are putting up a lightning rod when putting up a antenna., however the chances of it being struck is like winning the lottery, just properly ground the antenna per NEC.
Good luck.
Let the controversy begin..... L.O.L.
