[opendtv] Re: 20050509 Mark's Monday Memo

I cannot speak for conditions at an "average consumer" location, just my 
apartment.  We were able to find an antenna position and orientation 
that would achieve reliable reception of any station -- just not 
necessarily the same position and location for each station (but we 
didn't have to put the antenna on the floor as we previously had to to 
get WNYW-DT).  What we did to get reception would not be unreasonable to 
expect a consumer WANTING DTT and willing to take steps to get it to do.

Last summer's test, however, was pretty much idiot-proof.  Even rabbit 
ears on the set (not near the window) worked (even though all the DTT 
stations are UHF).
