Re: I dont know of anyone who uses an antenna.

I'm going to cancel my expensive Cablevision service. I can't use an outside antenna, so I doubt I can receive any DTV signals here (analog with rabbit ears was pretty snowy, but watchable). So we won't have any TV service at all.
must be an apartment or rental home if you cant mount an Antenna.

if its not a rental home then afaik it is illegal(per FCC) for HOAs to prohibit use of a TV antenna.
Also he can get a outdoor antenna that's necessarily a rooftop one. With UHF higher is not always better. My best signals on UHF come 2-4 feet off the ground.

Higher is generally better for VHF/UHF. The catch is that tress and other objects attenuate the signal and also produce reflections.

So in your case you may just have found a "sweet spot."

In my case my antenna has to be at 70ft on my 86ft tower to work.
