Under the OTARD rules, an owner or a tenant has the right to install
an antenna on property that he owns or over which he has exclusive
use or control. This includes single family homes, condominiums,
cooperatives, townhomes and manufactured homes.

What is written is one thing. Practicality is something else. I am not
about to spend time in litigation, creating a brouhaha with my
neighbors, to save a few bucks. There is much more to life. e.g. It cost
us about $50,000 in damages, plus legal fees, because our board would
not permit a companion dog, which is expressly permitted under the ADA.
The US attorney handled the litigation for the woman.

put an antenna *inside* your apartment, in window. done.


I did say that would give bad reception.

all you said is that 'indoor reception is terrible'.

as with everything else you've said, that's vague.

you didn't say how terrible or what type of antenna it was. you also
didn't say whether you put it in a window or more likely put it next to
the tv, which could make a significant difference depending on what
types of material in the walls of your house/condo.

a high gain antenna could work well, possibly even a directional
antenna if all of the stations you want are broadcasting from the same
direction (likely from nyc).

or as has been said before, just get a roku or apple tv and get
whatever channels you want off the 'net. there's a huge selection, from
big names to local channels to niche private channels, even 'those'
channels which you don't want anyone else to know about.

You need have a contact with the station. Either visual or bounced
using terrain and buildings as "mirrors".
