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

[Jim Carlson]

Good luck with that- 
As you know Chan 6 transferred over early (to 17) and I did some
experimenting to find that the digital signal seemed much harder to receive.

Maybe it was just my location (burre center). 
It would be nice to know what have others found?

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
<http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp> page and enter your
latitude and longitude values to determine your magnetic declination. Now
comes the fun part: Point your browser to the
<http://www.2150.com/broadcast/default.asp> payoff page 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.
