Mouting a TV antenna on the roof?

edit: lol there's a "n" in Mounting silly me.

-Backstory, no need to read this part really.

So... my family is living in the stone age and although we have DSL internet we don't have any sort of cable or satellite TV service. This new digital TV thing (if you don't live in America you may not know what i'm talking about)is nice because it makes normal public TV have really nice picture and sound for free. However as i'm learning our current old school indoor antennas aren't receiving the signal with enough strength to have smooth picture/sound on all the main stations...
[end backstory]

That said, I think I want to get this outdoor antenna...
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8408476&productCategoryId=abcat0107006&type=product&tab=7&id=1183160363349#productdetail

The reviews sound positive mostly and it sounds like more than I need since i'm not out in the country or anything but why not.

So my question is. How do I install it on the roof? I don't think mounting it should be that hard, but what I'm concerned about is how I conect it from my roof to my TV downstairs. I mean... I don't feel like just drilling a hole in my roof is such a great idea.

So in summary. Has anyone ever done this before and how should I go about it? I'd be willing to pay someone to do it for me but i'm sure that'd cost quite a bit so I'd rather avoid it.

hm, your the first person I've heard of in a while who shares my "pain" of analog tv [though it's not really pain since I don't watch tv much].

All I know is that most antennas come with guides on how to mount them, and if it doesn't, you can try google.

I'm not very helpful : [

Drill some holes and buy some good sealant? I would feel comfortable doing that if I was able to find the right roof sealant.

Also, will this antenna work with the new digital TV that will be starting soon?

My neighbor has an antenna or a satellite or something which I think he installed himself because it just has a huge cord coming from it from the roof into a window to his tv. o_o

Yes it would work with the new digital signal. I think that it used to be that if the analog signal was weak the picture just wouldn't be that good but it was still smooth and watchable. Now the digital signal gives a really nice picture but if the signal isn't high enough the sound and picture will glitch once every few seconds and it's unwatchable.

I have a neighbor who is a plumber and handy man person I'll probably ask him what he thinks.
