Default Need info on antenna installation/installers

I have been living in the Villages (Fernandina) for ten years now and have used over the air attic antenna to get the local channels. This has been an off again and on again reception problem for me because on some days I get pixelation on all three Orlando networks. It is frustrating. I would like to find out if anyone has used a professional antenna installer (who?) and how you have put up an antenna either in the attic or outside and what your results were?

I know the villages allows outside antennas but height is an important issue for over the air reception. Is there a height restriction? And no I don't want to stream or use cable. Would an outside antenna pick up Tampa better than Orlando? Right now I have my antenna pointed toward Orlando in the attic. However the transmitters for Orlando TV are in Christmas Florida and that is 80 miles away. It is a stretch to get reception in the attic. Any thoughts from those who have good reception over the air?
