If your garage is pointed toward Orlando, it is pretty easy to put it on the eave of the house and run the cable in thru the soffit and into the garage attic. From there, you can snake it down the conduit to the TV/ phone/ water controller box in the garage. Then add an amplifier, and then send it to your tv thru the usual wire.

I would try it out first by running a real long cable thru a door to your tv to make sure that you get anything anyway.
thank-you---if and when I add an outdoor antenna I will follow your advice. I knew there was a good reason not to monkey with the vent.
