My house had a satellite dish mounted on a pole next to the AC. I just mounted a $20 Yagi antenna on a taller pole attached to that, about 25 feet off the ground. Pointed it 112 degrees, towards Bithlo Fl, where the Orlando-Daytona TV station antennas are located, and the reception is generally as good as, sometimes better than Comcast. Try it, you will like it!
