Hey, cool. Thanks, Dale.
 
I tried it. Here's my reception comparison:
 
If by "moderate signal" they mean, "okay with an indoor antenna," and by "no 
signal" they mean, "you will get occasional macroblocking and dropouts with an 
indoor antenna," then it's not bad. Although my strongest stations here show up 
as moderate, rather than strong, and vice versa.
 
When I had the outdoor antenna, all those "no signal" stations came in solid 
almost always, barring weird atmospheric conditions. Meaning, the signal 
strength meter was well into the green zone, for most of those "no signal" 
stations (all from Baltimore).
 
But what is heartening is that at least they actually list all the stations I 
can receive, whereas antennaweb does not.
 
And better yet, they show me that there is one more station that I didn't even 
know existed. Must rescan, or dial it in manually.
