Nah.... 20' down here with a small antenna I will just make a bracket to my eaves.
These antenna are fairly cheap $20-$40, so if there happens to be a surprise storm hit, I won't have to spend much to put it back up.
I will just bury a 4 X 4 down a couple of feet and chisel out a channel for the pipe to lock into, throw a bolt in the bottom for a swivel point and a small pulley under the eave, easy peasy.
Did a similar one in a temp rental down here about 10 years ago, LOL, they woman who owned the place paid me for it too... and told me to patent the idea.
Like so many other things we all put together and share, most folks patent them to make money.... not me.... well, one day maybe, but its going to have to be a doozy.

My fav is Better Call Saul , think it's the best show on tv . With Hell On Wheels as my second fav , after that it's educational tv , lord knows I need it !

I have customized it to the channels I get , you might adapt it to your area ???  I use it all the time and even have a Icon for it on my desktop .

sorry for the slow reply !    taking off for 9 days got me way behind on chores .    The power for rotating goes up the  wire that the signal come down .   I can't see where its pointed from the living-room so I just leave it pointed the same direction all the time , and still get plenty to watch.   There are a lot of independent stations out there !  

Mine is maybe 5 foot above the roof on a 20' pole. clamped to the house.

   

Thanks MMR

I have to take a look at my cable box outside the house to see how they have the cables run (it has a metal clip lock).

I have internet cable so I am not sure which one runs to my cable modem for it, I might have to crawl up in my attic and splice a few cables until I get what I want.
I don't think the cable company will help me with that, but you never know.
From my understanding, the cable box on my house is mine, the contractor ran all of the cables, the cable company only owns the line coming to my house. So apparently I can do anything I want with the cable box.
I want to run the antenna cable to a signal booster and then to the "cable in" side for the house at the box.
And leave one cable for the internet modem.
Been kinda busy lately... but I will get around to it this week or next.
