Speaking of external antennas, you do not need to ask the HOA's permission due to the FCC OTARD (Over The Air Reception Device) rules, which allow you to mount an antenna for local reception without permission from HOAs or even local/state gov't. I think you have to notify the HOA, however.
The HOA says:
"[Satellite dishes and television antennas] do require Modifications Committee review and approval, mostly they just review to make sure it is in the least visible area from public areas as possible. They are allowed to be visible though, just as less as possible if that makes sense. I've attached the guidelines and application for your review. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns."
The guidelines don't talk about TV antennas specifically, but say this about satellite dishses:
"Satellite Dishes, provided that they are not mounted on a streetfacing
façade (roof or wall) and that no part of the dish surpasses the
height of the adjacent roof ridge(s). Such dishes may be mounted
on alley-facing facades or interior sideyard facades. In the case of
the sideyard facades, dishes must be set back at least 10 feet from the
front, street-facing corner of the house."
