I’m just going to say one more thing about OTA transmission ... if you tried using a “regular” antenna when locals were simulcasting digital and analog and were dissatisfied then you need to look again ... especially if you were using one of those horrible digital to analog converter boxes .... when analog went away the signal for digital was bumped up in most cases ... I don’t have a good outdoor antenna right now but with a cheesy indoor set of rabbit ears I get really nice reception on the locals.
Here in SF Bay Area I use my old figure-8 Terk up in the attic.
I pull in -10.0dB LO and -5.0dB HI...
Boosted with 12.0dB AMP and split through a 4-way at 7.5dB loss...
I get -5.0dB LO and 0.00dB HI at my wall ports.
The only stations I can get are in the 2- range, 4- range and 5- range.
Neighbor across the street with his outdoor tree-style antenna gets what I can’t.
At least my boy gets his 54-4 PBS kids - my wife gets her 1-XX Vietnamese radio broadcast...so house is happy.
Watched Saints versus Colts on 11-1 last night so I can’t complain either.
