[opendtv] Re: FCC DTV Coverage data

For where I live the predictions in both TV Fool and AntennaWeb are inaccurate.

Both sites indicate better Philadelphia signals than those from Baltimore which is not what I'm experiencing.

As stated below, the data they're based on does not include all the things that can affect reception.

I like it too but unfortunately the FCC's site and AntennaWeb are acceptably
accurate only when one lives on relatively flat terrain. Both services
utilize low-resolution terrain data and therefore their predictions can be
problematic for folks residing in hilly terrain (which the FCC addresses
their remarks).
