Ya'know ...I have similar experience here ...I am 1h drive from Philly and up over a pond over which my antenna points from a 40' tower with pre-amp and amp and still got very little ...my sis is 20mi from NYC on LI with antenna on garage roof about 20' up and got 60+ channels ...the cliff is the cliff !! I think the result is gonna be MANY people who get just about nothing ...it's all a scheme to sell cable and dishes IMHO !!

Not just the woods. Here in DC I am 120 feet off the ground and line of sight to many transmitters. The DTV signal quality is not as good as analog. I had to get a high-end indoor antenna and fuss with positioning it. By sheer luck it fell over one day to point at a crazy angle that finally gave me an adequate signal. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
