    Digital Transition Footprints

    I don't think it's an issue of inaccurate applicant data. Afterall, tvfool is based on exactly the same information. I think it's more of an issue of errors in their algorithms or some other problem with their processing. Just my 2 cents... Cheers, Chuck

    TV Fool and antennaweb are ok... but why not go directly to the source....

    Because the FCC site gives way too much irrelevant information. The search is based purely on radius with no account for transmitter power, antenna pattern, or terrain. Having "way more hits" is not always a good thing. For any given search, perhaps only about 1/3 or less are actually...

    ota installation

    Both antennaweb and tvfool channel lists now include the post transitional transmitter information. This should help people prepare for any transmitters that are switching to VHF next year.

    Which Multiswitch?

    Another great site is www.tvfool.com. If you have Google Earth, their downloadable coverage maps are VERY cool.

    OTA/Wiring Question

    If you're looking for a clear channel, 29 will probably be better than 22-23. See the spectrum utilization graphs at the bottom of the attachments. It doesn't seem necessary to diplex the signals at the dish/antenna and then un-diplex them in the attic. Why not just run the antenna cable...

    OTA/Wiring Question

    There is one channel in VHF right now (WDIQ) and there will be two VHF channels after the analog shutdown (WDIQ and WSFA). If these channels are important to you, then plan for hi-VHF reception on your antenna.

    Antenna for Santa Maria, CA

    It may be related to your antenna. If you are using an inexpensive rabbit ears plus loop style antenna, the loop is responsible for picking up UHF channels and the rabbit ears are responsible for picking up VHF channels. If there are no adjustments on the antenna (usually a knob of some kind)...

    Antenna for Santa Maria, CA

    The way to get the cleanest signal for all the channels is to use a rotator. With a good directional antenna like the Channel Master 4228, you'll probably have an easy time getting all three networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC). The only caveat is that you can't receive all of them at the same time...

    Kansas city locals

    Even though an address lookup may not work, you can try entering your location as coordinates, instead. If you use a site like iTouchMap you can zoom in to your location, place a marker, and it will tell you the coordinates of that location. Once you have that, you can enter it into sites like...
