Some of the newer houses have attics that are line with foil for energy conservation. Having an antenna inside the roof isn't so much an option for them. Having an outside antenna, whether for over-the-air or satellite reception, is an option the government says HOAs and covenants can't stop you from having. However, Florida is the lightning capital of the country, if not the world. I'm leery about mounting an outside antenna for that very reason.
We're moving to our house in TV in about a year and are also investigating what approach to take. Should we "cut the cable" and go just over-the-air and supplement with streaming services over the internet? If so, which services? More and more are coming out (CBS and BBC are on the way) and I shudder at the idea of teaching my wife which service through which device to go to in order to get the many shows she currently watches (though once we get down there we'll probably be too busy having fun to watch so much TV!).
This topic is almost as bewildering as which cell service to get for the best reception (I hear Sprint, but would like to hear from more folks around the Village of Dunedin to be sure) and whether it's time to stop bothering with a land line. I don't like the expense of a land line but I really don't like carrying a cell phone around either.
It's great having choices! It's confusing having too many of them though!
