- Shame on you. Certainly you know that the opposite of external
- antenna is not "no antenna". TeeVee signals do go through shingles
- and plywood, and with any luck you could put a small collection of
- antennas inside your attic. Based on descriptions of you house,
- you should have enough volume up there to accomodate quite a mess
- of wiring. If your roof was framed to support itself (that is, you
- don't have a low pitch roof that is propped up by the ceiling of
- your house, or you didn't have idiots for builders ...) you might
- even have enough room to put an antenna on one of those rotator
- gadgets ...
