I must say at the outset that I am hesitant to buy an antenna based

I don't believe the local code has any say in the matter.

But if you want to give up your rights...

This is true to a point. Local codes no problem, BUT in HOA territory
these rules do not necessarily apply. In most cases the HOAs have
modified their rules. The small direct satellite lobby started the
trend. Allowing these dishes they really had to include other TV antennas.
the FCC premption (aka OTARD rules) is the key thing here.. The HOA
can't really do anything if it fits in the FCC guidelines.. dishes 1
meter, OTA TV any size.

Nice thing about the Winegard SquareShooter is it resembles a dish
though my neighbors might think I don't have a clue how to aim it.
It's opposite where all the little dishes are aimed. They would have
laughed if they had seen the spectrum analyzer on the driveway next to
the car. I was on the roof with binoculars to see the screen.
