Thank you for the replies, and especially the tip on the RCA boxes being not-the-best. That's exactly what we have, and I do have a Zenith in CA that I'll bring and try later.

You might want to point this out to whoever is trying to prevent your installation, and see if their opinion changes. |
I'm sure I could argue that with the HOA, but it's one of those cases where I don't want to be the neighborhood troublemaker or start wars. Nobody else has a dish or antenna above the roofline, and I'm probably one of the few who doesn't want cable. My wife got in a fight with the HOA several years ago, over an issue with her wanting to pay the HOA fees annually (as opposed to sending in a coupon and check monthly). There was nothing in the rules either way, so she paid a year up front despite that they said they'd rather we just keep sending it in monthly. They said it cause a bookkeeping nightmare, and they then ticketed us for a water stain on the chimney visible from the street, and unapproved shrubbery.
