    On older homes, yes very common. New builds tend to put them on the ground. I have no idea why they were put on roofs.

    Could be a directional wireless internet antenna, I've seen ALL sorts of homemade builds with these things. I've seen several small satellite dishes modded to use a external antenna housed in a waterproof enclosure (or even a mason jar!). At first I thought HAM radio, but they are'nt really directional AFAIK.

    It's a cheap TV antenna sold under many brand names on Amazon, Wal-mart and ebay for around $50 or so. It's not known to be very good. The built in rotor usually fails first, then the poor quality noisy premap will fail in about 2 years. see this video by antenna man https://youtu.be/fv6YRrLpwl0?si=3AMGnPjiIQ5wCTE4
