Here in UpState NY our home was at 1700 ft above sea level.

I hooked our 1985 non HD antenna in the attic to our Direct TV cable box antenna connector. Let it run a search and!

We had over 13 free HD signals with clarity better than the Satellite.

I don't understand why but it worked. The old 13 inch color TV in the cellar gym worked with a Zenith HD converter box and got the same free in air stations.

Would this not work in TV also if you had a HD antenna in the attic.

Your antenna (in The Villages) would only bring in one broadcast station, the Fox station in Ocala. All the rest are either in Daytona Beach or the other side of Orlando and way too far for good reception.
