Our attic mounted Winegard® HD7694P High Definition VHF/UHF TV Antenna yagi works well except WESH NBC is in and out....thinking a roof mount could improve reception.

We had the same problem, and tried the same solution. No improvement.

I heard that there is some hill or topographical feature between us and Orlando. So, depending on which Village you are in, or if your home is situated on the top or bottom of a hill, over-the-air may not work. That leaves streaming.

Xfinity works all the time.

Your attachment is correct and don't believe the B.S.. that community standards tells you about signing a agreement on the deed restrictions.
The state and Federal law Pre-empts this from being enforced other than intimidations by the powers to be!

I have a DB4E attic mounted and pick up NBC almost all of the time. It apparently depends on where you are located. I am between 466a and 44.

This is wrong. Look it up. I've spoken to Antenna's Direct and they say there is a low power UHF signal WESH repeater antenna by Ocala

And we are thankful for it

Frequency of NBC depends on which transmitter you are receiving from.
UHF from Ocala; Hi-VHF from elsewhere.
