How do I install an outdoor HDTV antenna?
We live in the country. There are no cable providers or reliable HDTV/internet providers for our areas (we barely have cellphone reception). We want to install an antenna that will bring on HDTV signals from the nearest larger cities. How do we locate the best reception and secure the antenna? We can’t put it on the roof (lease stipulation). Thanks, Hometalk!

We put ours on the side of the house using one of the flat antennas. It depends on how far away you need to pick up a signal. You can mount a traditional antenna on a pole, like a flag pole, and either have it in the yard or near your house. This would be similar to how they mount a satellite dish.
Side note: We bought a signal booster, office size, so that we could use our cell phone and drop the land line. They are a bit pricey but paid for itself in about 8 months because we no longer had a $45/month phone bill for our farmhouse.
