Maybe if you are in Spanish Springs. I am in the south area and have one in my garage attic, which would be no more than 10 - 12 feet high. I scan and get 70 channels.

Still, as the saying goes "your mileage may vary". TV signals are funny things, and the house a couple away from you might get something, but you get nothing.

If you drive around your area and see a house with a TV antenna, knock on their door and ask them how it works. For the most part, people with antennas around The Villages have worked through a number of issues and would be eager to tell their story. Some really eager. Make sure you have some time to spend.
