Maybe I will just do it and wait for the wrath of my neighbors! I don’t know Golbguru, I am not sure they would like a big piece of metal hanging on the side of the building.

Is it possible to do something like that? :) I am not sure how to do it, but sometimes, hanging a small metal grid (connected to your antenna/TV) outside your window helps better reception.

Ugh. Glad you found a solution! I wish they would let me, but they would not even let anyone put a satellite dish up there, never mind a regular antenna. Ugh. Glad you found a solution!

We were living in a house where such antennas were against homeowner association rules. At least, if you could see them. After several days on the roof and some creative placement, we could watch TV, not pay $500 a year(!) for cable, and not get tagged by the HOA Gestapo. Any chance they'll let you mount a big 'ol antenna on top of the building if you let everyone else tap into it? Dan We dropped cable, but had to replace it with a monster ($100) antenna.
