[RTC List] OTA Antennas - HD and SD local broadcasts

[Fred Moore]

Folks,

 

As the digital conversion is "still" upon us (even though the conversion
date has now been pushed back), I have an interesting question that I
hope the RTC group can help with, as follows:

 

*         Are there any local vendors that can both recommend and
install OTA antennas to receive local feeds of both SD and HD
broadcasts?

 

I live in the Cutten area and would like to simply get the local
channels over the air.

 

Thanks in advance for your time and replies,

 

Fred

 

PS - While researching this, I came across in interesting collection of
sites to determine what can and can't be received within our area:

 

Start at this site <http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html> , and enter your
full address; the site calculates your precise latitude and longitude.
Jot down the decimal values and be sure to note direction (North or
South for latitude, East or West for longitude). Then, go to this page
<http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp>  and enter your
latitude and longitude values to determine your magnetic declination.
Now comes the fun part: Point your browser to the payoff page
<http://www.2150.com/broadcast/default.asp>  and enter your latitude,
longitude, and declination values. Then, just plug in an appropriate
distance range (no more than 80 miles), and view your results. You can
choose to have the stations organized by their distance or direction in
relation to your address, or by channel.
