Me, on multiple receivers. That doesn't mean that a single location will
get all signals, but any antenna position will give me multiple reliable
signals -- and unreliable to me means one unrecovered error in a program
viewing.
Receivers?
B2c2 (least reliable)
MyHd
Some new dongle with a name I don't recall.

Just curious. Does anyone on this digital TV list know of anyone with
an ATSC VCR or PVR hooked up to only an OTA antenna that can
automatically and reliable timer record from multiple OTA ATSC channels
(not necessarily simultaneously) with no other switching or antenna
fiddling?
