[Villager Audio Video]

I've never installed an antenna in a steel truss environment in The Villages so I can't answer your question with any 1st hand experience. Broadcast TV reception is tricky with way to many variables to discuss. The big problem in The Villages is distance, the transmitter cluster we're trying to hit is 60+ miles away @ around 119 degrees (Southeast Orlando) It could work great for you and your neighbor could get nothing. You need to use a very large antenna and place it as high as possible for best results.

Placing the antenna outside would be ideal. Attic installations cost you as much as 30-40% of your signal strength. With that said, I will not mount them outside. These things are very large and they are not attractive. I live in The Villages and I don't want to see them.
