My recommendation would be to verify that you can return the antenna if you purchase it to conduct testing for your specific location. All antennas work better outdoors because of the built in obstacles that indoor use involves. However, it is only with testing that you can determine if your reception is acceptable inside your structure. This is the testing method I used with this antenna and ended up installing it outdoors because the reception was better. While I do not live in Florida, I am taking a risk that wind damage could occur since we live in an area that can get high winds when a tropical storm comes through. Only time will tell if we experience any problems with storms damaging the antenna.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Clearstream 4 Max is very resilient. I know the weather in Florida can be extreme, but the Clearstream 4 Max has been used in Florida for years now and has worked well through some very serious weather. The metal that makes up a metal building will block most if not all channels from hitting the antenna. It is possible to still receive some channels, but we do not expect that to work well.
