Non-permanent method to mount TV antenna?
 

I rent one half of a small duplex that kind of sets in
a "bowl" as far as good HD TV signal reception.

I'm def going to have to use an outdoor antenna to get
off air digital TV channels. Thing is I'm looking for a
non-perm method of mounting a smallish TV antenna up
high..... roof or something. No drilling or mounting
wanted if possible

I was thinking abt just mounting antenna on side of
something heavy such as concrete block and SETTING it
on top of roof.

Any other ideas out there?

Uh! Something heavy on the roof. Danger! I remember my parent's sat
dish stopped working after a storm. My father and I went up under the
roof and found out that the tube holding it was only fixed with two
hose clamps. Turned the tube until reception quality was okay again,
fixed the clamps and went down.

If there is some tube at the outside of your house you can fix such a
tube with a dish mounted on top at it. Or if there is some gap
somewhere in the roof put the tube through it. Or if you can drill a
few holes to the wall mount it at the outside. Or... - be creative!

is there a chimney? you can get a metal pole for a mast and long chimney
straps in home depot to mount antennas. this doesn't require any permanent
changes.

Antenna probably work just as well laid parallel to the roof
on the roof as they do 1 meter above the roof on a pole.

if the roof is wood and asphalt, putting it in the attic might work
almost as well. I remember living in a dorm in college, we lived on the
top floor of the building, we simply taped the antenna to the ceiling.

Boy if that doesn't should like a plot for a Tim Allen or Red Green
episode.

Couldn't be a Tim Allen episode - unless the antenna was rotated by a
450 HP turbocharged HEMI.

I didn't watch that Tim Allen show regularly but did catch the one where
he turbocharged the dishwasher or garbage disposal.

Better yet, weld a TV antenna and mast to the top of an old junked
pickup truck. *Paint the truck in camouflage. *Install a gun rack
(with large shotguns), install dual CB antennas, and put a Redneck
Confederate flag in all windows on the truck. *Inflate all the tires
to 60lbs. *Then get a crane to lift the truck onto the house roof,
with left tires on one side of the ridge and right tires on the other
side. *Run your cable down to an open window and connect to your tv.
You now have a roof mounted antenna, plus a set of dual CB antennas
just in case you get the urge to Breaker Breaker good buddy ---- 10-4
Roger. *You never made a hole in the roof, or modified the house in
any way. *I do hope you set the parking brake on the truck though.

I do hope you set the parking brake on the truck though

The parking brake rusted solid years ago and the cable was cut.

Just leave it in gear and you'll be all set.
