Default Television Antenna Installer

Can anyone recommend a contractor to install a new TV antenna on my roof?
The wiring is already installed from my existing antenna. So only the antenna needs to be installed

Just curious….what Village are you in? I’ve been interested in in getting an antennae, but one electrician told me that in Sunset Pointe I’m just a bit north to get good reception from Orlando.
I figure the technology should eventually catch up….

Be careful, the over the air service is going to be replaced with version 3.0, which will not work on old TVs. Plus there is talk of just shutting down the current version. Go to AntennaManPA.com for very information on TV antennas.

We just went to homes in our area that have antennas & got lots of good information. The link in my signature has great info about OTA television & antennas including the new system which keeps being delayed.

Joel,
3.0 is coming, but it will not affect reception on most TVs built after 2009. And as far as shutting the Over The Air signal off, remember that (ChatGPT) Approximately 11 to 12 million U.S. households—8 percent—have neither cable/satellite television nor fixed high-speed internet access, based on the most recent data.(Me) For many, the over-the-air is what they depend on. And we still rely on OTA as part of the Emergency Broadcast network.

Village of Pinellas, 65 + OTA stations.

OP, I have my antenna mounted on the SIDE of the house, with an extension to raise it about 4 feet above the edge of the roof, I did not want holes in the roof.
