[opendtv] Re: DTV TUNER

Jay,
Here is a list of the digital stations in Baltimore and DC.  I live near
Dulles airport and can get most of them with a winegard PR-4400 antenna
(http://www.winegard.com/offair/prostar1000uhf.htm) in my attic.  You
should not need a 70' mast to pick them up, especially if you get a late
model (4th or 5th gen) receiver.

Thanks John,

It will be rabbit ears in an apartment in Sterling, VA for right now --
but=20
then a house in a few months where I'm recommending to my brother a 50
to=20
60 foot mast with rotor and antenna atop. That should be good for the=20
DC/Baltimore area, right?

Any antenna suggestions for the house? I guess the days of the large=20
VHF/UHF antennas I used to put on seventy foot masts and in 90 foot pine

trees are gone, right? No reason to pull in analog VHF with DTV, right?=20
What would one go with - a full spectrum UHF antenna?

Please forgive my ignorance. I'm unable to read all the list postings as
I=20
used to.

Lastly, can you or anyone steer me in a direction where I might I which=20
DC/Baltimore area stations are broadcasting DTV at full power at this
time?

Thanks,
Jay
