He doesn't do anything with antennas!

I know it's weird that a TV guy doesn't do that.

Before I get a quote from Tom, can anyone PM me as to how much the cost of buying and installing an antenna on the roof might cost? Thanks.

Tom told me that he doesn’t do tv antennas any more.

Tom at Villages AV no longer installs TV antennas.

Tom recommended I call Les Allier at Custom Antenna and Satellite; 407-913-9947. Les recently quoted me $325-375 for a Leva HD-8008 antenna mounted on the roof and connected to 1 TV.

I've also seen prior recommendations for International Satellite & Antenna Service in Ocala, 352-237-3811

I have no experience with either of these. Also, NBC can be difficult to receive.

Don’t know how much it cost now but I paid $60. for antenna & booster. Booster had to be plugged into a 110v outlet. I did mine myself. I just pointed mine toward Orlando & I got 46 channels. I’m sure the biggest expense would be installing the antenna. It might be a little expensive to get it initially installed but in the long run you’ll save a lot money.

Antenna reception even amplified is possible only in parts of The Villages, from the terrain and distance to cities with broadcasting. They do not work in Belvedere behind the high school for example. Cable, dish or internet needed.
When they do work they need to be elevated, off the roof, on a pole or in the attic.
Check if any neighbors get reception.

You can buy the antenna on Amazon (150 mile range) ($50.00) and poles at Lowes (2 for about $25.00) and install it yourself. I would stay away from roof mount unless you are replacing a dish already mounted on the roof.

Tom no longer does antennas but referred me to another guy. Install with antenna and 4 TVs was 300 something can't recall exactly I want to say 360.00 but not sure

150 mile range seems a little inflated unless it's mounted way up high. Reminds me of when all the bars had super high antennas to bring in blacked out NFL home games.

If you are going to do an antenna and want those channels on all tv's in the house, I recommend installing a Tablo receiver and portable hard drive. The coax cable from the antenna plugs into the Tablo and the Tablo uses a WiFi connection to connect to the Tablo app on either your smart TV or Roku/Firestick. The addition of the portable hard drive allows you to record programs as well. Tablo runs around $90 and portable hard drive was around $50 iirc.

Les installed one for me and I now receive 76 clear channels... He's a great guy!

Where are you located? And do you get a clear signal for NBC 2.1?

[FenneyFanatic]

I’m in Fenney. My antenna is five feet above my roof peak. I get all OTA networks with no problem.

[Bilyclub]

Since WESH switched to UHF they have a very strong signal.

To those who added an outside antenna, did you need to get Village approval?

No.

NBC 2.1 recently moved from VHF to UHF and is now easy to get. Do a rescan on your TV to add it.
